Toucouleur Toucouleur _oucouleur — "Last Train to Paradise" is popular history at its best. This is the story of an era that is no more--a time when one man with unlimited resources, and more importantly, unlimited vision could accomplish something wondrous. Henry M. Flager, who co-founded Standard Oil with John Rockefeller, left his active role in the company 15 years after its birth to pursue his new passion: building the modern state of Florida. At the heart of this book is Flager's drive to see the Key West Railroad completed before his death. The idea of running train tracks all the way to Key West had been around for a while, but had been dismissed by most people as wildly impractical. Flager was determined to see it through, buoyed during the many challenges the project faced by his unshakable belief that the completion of the rail line, coupled with the opening of the Panama Canal, would transform Key West into a major port. (That part of Flager's vision was to remain unfulfilled.) The engineering challenges proved to be huge, and the toll of lost lives was great. But Flager persevered. The line was completed in 1912, slightly more than a year before Flager's death at eighty-three. It stood for twenty-three years, until its swift obliteration in the Labor Day hurricane of 1935. Author Les Standiford brings the creation and destruction of this rail line to life in vivid, novelistic detail. At the end, the reader is left pondering a question: Was the expenditure of lives and treasure worth it? If we could put that query to Henry Flager today, I believe the answer would be yes.

2vsarqcom Vsarq vsarq — A fun dot-to-dot journey through the drawings of Gustave Dore that will take you from image to image by means of a tender excuse; the imaginary travels of a 12 year-old boy. Fun and imaginative. This book has reminded me of my dreams. The protagonist's chats with Anxiety and Death are not to be missed.
