520 1 $a"Coney Island is more than a national institution: it was probably the most celebrated amusement resort in the world. This book, by a man whose family helped to build the Island's fantastic reputation, presents its lively and nostalgic history. Touched with sentiment, occasionally with acid, it is frank, outspoken, sometimes biting, but always imbued with humor.".
520 8 $a"After its original settlement, Coney Island passed through three well-defined periods that can best be described as notorious, elegant, and garish. The first was the time of Civil War deserters and bounty-jumpers, outlaws and prostitutes. Next, the 1880s were the time of elegance, of the finest hotels and restaurants, a time when the sporting world, the theatrical world, and the world of fashion made Coney Island a truly glittering watering place.
520 8 $aThe third period was that of the nickel empire when the subways reached the island, the great hordes arrived, and Coney grew cheap and garish. In its fourth period, Coney Island became a beautiful seaside park."--BOOK JACKET.
