Скачать или смотреть Mary Lily Bingham: The Bride of Oil and the Widow of Secrets

Step into the smoky glamour of America’s Gilded Age with the extraordinary life of Mary Lily Kenan Flagler Bingham—heiress, railroad queen, silent suffragist, and the unsettled ghost behind Palm Beach’s greatest mystery. Born in 1867 amid the ashes of the Civil War, Mary Lily rocketed from Kenansville’s dusty crossroads to the heart of Standard Oil power, rewriting every rule set for Southern women. She captivated 71‑year‑old tycoon Henry M. Flagler, commanded a 75‑room palace called Whitehall, and funneled millions into hospitals, UNC scholarships, and early civil‑rights efforts—long before philanthropy was fashionable. Yet her shocking bathtub death in 1917, a morphine‑laced riddle that ignited headlines from Florida to New York, still fuels true‑crime podcasts and late‑night docent tours. Was it accident, addiction, or something darker engineered by her second husband, Judge Robert Worth Bingham? Subscribe now to unravel the scandals, triumphs, and unanswered questions in a story where luxury, loyalty, and lethal rumor collide on a single, hypnotic railroad track through history.
