Coney Island: 150 Years of Rides, Fires, Floods, the Rich, the Poor and Finally Robert Moses
William J. Phalen
Before the Civil War, Coney Island boasted a beach, a dozen small hotels with ramshackle bathhouses, some chowder stands and a few saloons. By 1910, Coney Island saw 20 million visitors, more than Disney theme parks could claim 70 years later. Through the decades, the island has seen changes of fortune, floods and fires, cycles of decay and rehabilitation.
