Scandal Sheets

E9: Henry Flagler, Scandalous Oil Magnate and Florida Developer


Listen Later

Turns out that Henry Flagler, the old dude that developed Florida's east coast, was one smokin' hottie when he was younger. Which might account for his three marriages, two of which were to women half his age. This ingenious businessman made millions on oil refining and then invested it in the development of hotels and railroads that opened Florida to millions of tourists. Join Caroline and Adrienne as they discuss the early years of Henry's life and one of the monumental hotels he developed. Along the way they discover their mutual love for "Faerie Tale Theatre" and weird things like Tuberculosis hospitals.
