Last Train to Paradise

In 1904, Henry Flagler embarked on an ambitious project to build a railroad from mainland Florida to Key West across 153 miles of ocean, a feat once deemed impossible and later hailed as the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” In Last Train to Paradise, Standiford recounts this Gilded Age triumph and its tragic destruction in the 1935 hurricane, capturing the tension between human ambition and nature’s power.
