As the world is transformed by steel and oil, one industrious man pockets the wealth of a nation, and one fearless woman makes a bold investment in Biscayne Bay.
In the final days of the last frontier of Florida, we dive into what life was really like for those who blazed the trail.
Through steady and uninterrupted growth, Biscayne Bay finally reaches critical mass, as Miami's oldest neighborhoods - one for leisure, and one for work - appear along the waterfront.
In the aftermath of the Civil War, a new beginning for Miami is led by an unscrupulous politician, and an array of influential figures who find their homes on these promising shores.
