The fast-paced and gripping true account of the extraordinary construction and spectacular demise of the Key West Railroad--one of the greatest engineering feats ever undertaken, destroyed in one fell swoop by the strongest storm ever to hit U.S. shores. In 1904, the brilliant and driven entrepreneur Henry Flagler, partner to John D. Rockefeller, dreamed of a railway connecting the island of Key West to the Florida mainland, crossing a staggering 153 miles of open ocean--an engineering challenge beyond even that of the Panama Canal. Many considered the project impossible, but build it they did. The railroad stood as a magnificent achievement for more than twenty-two years, heralded as "the Eighth Wonder of the World," until its total destruction in 1935's deadly storm of the century. In Last Train to Paradise, Standiford celebrates this crowning achievement of Gilded Age ambition, bringing to life a sweeping tale of the powerful forces of human ingenuity colliding with the even greater forces of nature's wrath.Binding Type: Paperback

LOVE and the pattern is the cutest!
Color: Berry Happy Pink, Size: 50"x70", Color: Berry Happy Pink, Size: 50"x70"
Absolutely love! Super soft. Super warm. It’s not super heavy which I personally like. I like to just have my throws around my upper body so I don’t over heat. There was A LOT of shedding, not sure why, a lot of little fluffs came off but vacuumed that up and it’s fine now. Slept with it tonight and it’s perfect.

Soft blanket!
Color: Juicy Words Hot Pink, Size: 50"x70"
Such a pretty blanket and super soft! The packaging was also super pretty and the blanket looks super nice on top of my black comforter. It's not super thick but I didn't expect it to be since it's just a throw blanket.

Gorgeous!
Color: Crown Script, Size: 50"x70"
I absolutely love this blanket! It’s of a perfect thickness - not so thick that you get really hot but it’s not too thin either so it’s definitely not cheap looking. It’s just right. The color pink is perfect, too. It’s that beautiful, pale, pale pink that’s so soft and attractive looking. And it’s super, super cuddly soft! Perfect for snuggling up with. I love the design, too. It has black crowns everywhere, all over the blanket, and gray polkadots in the background and then “Juicy Couture” written in black cursive all over it as well. I actually bought this for my granddaughter for Christmas because she loves Juicy Couture. I just know she is going to adore this blanket. So happy with my purchase! Definitely worth the price.
