Summary:"Before the Civil War, Coney Island boasted a beach, small hotels, chowder stands and a few saloons. Taken over by powerful individuals, amusement park builders designed an entertainment wonderland on the island. Through the decades, the island has seen changes of fortune, floods and fires, cycles of decay and rehabilitation, making Coney Island what it is today"--
