Reviews

A careful piece of research that fills a gap heretofore left empty, since there is no other adequate biography of Flagler. For Florida history, the volume tells the story of one of its most significant periods of growth.--Journal of Southern History

Martin's portrait of the Florida empire builder illuminates a gaudy phase of southern history in a way no other book does.--C. Vann Woodward

This study of Henry M. Flagler should receive widespread popular approval. It is written in a lively and engaging style; it is scholarly and unbiased; it gives the complete story of this colorful businessman's life, though naturally his empire-building in Florida stands out most boldly. Dr. Martin has written an important book.--E. Merton Coulter
