Les Standiford
Last Train to Paradise: Henry Flagler and the Spectacular Rise and Fall of the Railroad that Crossed an Ocean (Henry Morrison Flagler Museum), in its 19th printing and now rereleased in a special clothbound illustrated Centennial Edition, is Les Standiford's true account of the extraordinary construction and spectacular demise of the Key West Railroad—one of the greatest engineering feats ever undertaken, destroyed in one fell swoop by the strongest storm ever to hit U.S. shores. Standiford is Director of the Creative Writing Program at Florida International University and the author of several works of fiction and nonfiction, including his most recent books, Bringing Adam Home: The Abduction That Changed America and The Man Who Invented Christmas: How Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol Rescued His Career and Revived Our Holiday Spirits.
