Klappentext
How We Got to Coney Island is the definitive history of mass transportation in Brooklyn. Covering 150 years of extraordinary growth, Cudahy tells the complete story of the trolleys, street cars, steamboats, and railways that helped create New York's largest borough---and the remarkable system that grew to connect the world's most famous seaside resort with Brooklyn, New York City across the river, and, ultimately, the rest of the world. Includes tables, charts, photographs, and maps.

Zusammenfassung
Transportation historian Brian Cudahy shows how a unique blend of enterprises emerged in the final years of the 19th century to connect Coney Island with the independent municipality of Brooklyn, with New York City and, ultimately, with the rest of the world.
