Book Description
The town of Hastings owes its existence to Standard Oil Company cofounder Henry Flagler, who, by 1886, was building a hotel in St. Augustine. In 1890, Flagler invited his cousin Thomas Horace Hastings to establish a model farm to raise vegetables for the hotels he was building along the east coast of Florida. It soon became widely known that there was big money to be made in agriculture in Florida. The mild winters gave Hastings a significant advantage over other areas of the nation, and entrepreneurs from the north and west came to seek their fortunes. The story of Hastings is the story of a town that once was the center for pioneering the production of winter vegetables for cities and towns throughout the eastern United States. It is a story of a group of strong, industrious, and creative people who made a lasting impact on the history of Florida.

Book Description
Henry Morrison Flagler Yes, a less than sanitized view. Was it economic genius of the highest order? Or larceny on the grandest of scales? Henry had been excoriated by the press! Hung in effigy in New England! Only his great wealth comforted him. Henry Morrison Flagler A master of manipulating the truth! He would escape to Florida to acquire a Kingdom like Disston’s. “Our Henry” would build an Empire like Plant’s. His newspapers would polish his “Uncle Henry” persona. But Henry – the Corporate Monster – re-emerged to devour the South Florida economy. See his monopolistic tactics! Feel his total disregard for humanity… Nothing could block his Final Florida “blitzkrieg”. “the Key West Extension” Henry’s earthen causeways both dammed and damned the Florida Keys. Blocking the natural tidal flow, diverting the Atlantic’s surge. A thousand lives would be lost! Neither his corporate structure nor his wealth should absolve him of his responsibility. Exitus Aeta Probat?
