Reviews
After two similar biographies, David L. Chandler's Henry Flagler ( LJ 8/86) and Sidney Walter Martin's Florida's Flagler (1949), not much more can be said about Flagler the man. Akin instead concentrates on Flagler's business practices, focusing not only on his involvement with Standard Oil but on the company itself. Akin reveals that a desire for immortality rather than greed motivated Flagler to open up Florida's east coast. However, Akin does not fully explore and develop the reasons for Flagler's change from the Standard Oil barracuda to Florida's paternalistic "Uncle Henry." A welcome addition to late-19th-century business history; recommended for academic libraries. Susan Hamburger, Florida State Univ. Lib., Tallahassee
