Charlie and the Tycoon
When industrialist Henry Flagler arrives in Florida in the late 19th century, the state is a wild jungle with few people. But that changes quickly as Flagler builds hotels and railroads down the Atlantic Coast - with the help of teenaged Charlie Piece. Along the way, Charlie and his family realize that building the future means saying goodbye to the Florida they know and love.
