This book on Palm Beach history is fascinating! The author does a great job detailing Henry Flagler’s vision and the transformation of this coastal destination. While the $149 price point is steep for a book, the quality of the hardcover binding and historical photographs make it worthwhile for serious history buffs. I learned so much about Florida’s development that I never knew before. Perfect for anyone interested in American resort communities or Gilded Age history.
