Book summary

LAST TRAIN TO PARADISE recounts the perilous undertaking begun in 1904, when billionaire Henry Flagler imagined a railroad connecting Florida and Key West. The railroad was built--and then, 22 years after its completion, the train tracks were swept away by a hurricane. Here Strandiford reveals the untold story of the many who toiled to complete the greatest engineering project of the day.
