2.0 out of 5 stars
Informative but unrewarding,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flagler: Rockefeller Partner and Florida Baron (Florida Sand Dollar Books) (Paperback)
Akin's offering on Flagler is chock full of factual information. However, it is written in such a scholarly manner (practically every paragraph has a corresponding footnote) that it is difficult to get through. It's well researched, but not well written.I was particularly interested in Flagler's Key West Extension to his Florida East Coast Railway. Akin gave "the eighth wonder of the world" just one chapter. Pat Parks' "The Railroad That Died at Sea" was more informative regarding the extension--and a far better read. I was glad that I finished "Flagler...", though I considered it something of a chore.

Read this book at the library, it's a Good book, it's more of a Biography on the man,and it's more of a scholarly approach as oppose to a Quick read. it's worth checking out to Read UP on Henry Flagler. I recommend Speedway to Sunshine.
