Henry Flagler: The Man Who Built Florida and Shaped America

Settle in for a feature-length Bedtime History documentary about Henry Flagler, the Gilded Age tycoon who co-founded Standard Oil and then single-handedly built modern Florida. In this relaxing, ASMR-style deep dive, we journey from Flagler's ruthless creation of the Standard Oil monopoly with John D. Rockefeller to his second, even more audacious career. Follow the steel rails of his Florida East Coast Railway as he invents luxury tourism in St. Augustine (Ponce de León), creates the exclusive enclave of Palm Beach (The Breakers), and founds the "Magic City" of Miami. Finally, we cover his impossible, deadly, and magnificent "Eighth Wonder of the World": the Over-Sea Railroad that connected Key West to the mainland. This is the perfect, calm, long-form history for relaxing, studying, or falling fast asleep. Topics Include: Henry Flagler's Early Life & Standard Oil John D.
