Flager did so much for Florida!

When researching, I stumbled over the Ponce de Leon hotel in St. Augustine, Florida. This topic interested me a great deal, mostly because of the man who built it. Henry Flagler decided when he came to Florida he wanted to make it a place where people would want to come and visit. He built this absolutely amazing hotel (that is now Flagler College) and all of the sudden, tourism in St. Augustine increased 3 times more than what it had been. He seemed to be this man who suddenly had ideas and just ran with them. He was also the one who built a railroad down into South Florida because he wanted an easier way to get there. He had a great deal of wealth and he spent a large portion of it on Florida. Without him, Florida would not be what it is today.
