Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First explored by naturalist William Bartram in the 1760s, the St. Johns River stretches 310 miles along Florida's east coast, making it the longest river in the state. The first "highway" through the once wild interior of Florida, the St. Johns may appear ordinary, but within its banks are some of the most fascinating natural phenomena and historic mysteries in the state. The river, no longer the commercial resource it once was, is now largely ignored by Florida's residents and visitors alike. In the first contemporary book about this American Heritage River, Bill Belleville describes his journey down the length of the St. Johns, kayaking, boating, hiking its riverbanks, diving its springs, and exploring its underwater caves. He rediscovers the natural Florida and establishes his connection with a place once loved for its untamed beauty. Belleville involves scientists, environmentalists, fishermen, cave divers, and folk historians in his journey, soliciting their companionship and their expertise. River of Lakes weaves together the biological, cultural, anthropological, archaeological, and ecological aspects of the St. Johns, capturing the essence of its remarkable history and intrinsic value as a natural wonder.
