Flagler's story didn't end when he died in 1913. The next century would just continue to shape and change and influence his legacy. A man would fly to Cuba, his widow would face her own troubles, and his final project would be left in ruins.

The last fifteen years of Flagler's life somehow managed to be more influential than the previous seventy. Flagler had done the impossible already, but now, as the 20th century began, he set out to build a railroad across an ocean all the way to Key West.

Flagler and Plant were racing each other to build a railroad to Miami. Who got there first doesn't matter in retrospect. What matters is the things they built on the way, the heartaches they faced, and the legacies that still carry on to this day.
