According to the PBS American Experience, "Coney Island is the story of a
tiny spit of land at the foot of Brooklyn that at the turn of the century became
the most extravagant playground in the country."

As is so often the case, the PBS American Experience website offers a
detailed background look at its program on Coney Island, at

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/coney/filmmore/index.html

The site contains a complete transcript of the program, as originally
narrated by David McCullough, as well as production credits, and related resources.
Other links under "Special Features" include Postcards, a History of Roller
Coasters, and Film Clips. A timeline, thumbnail photo gallery, links to related
people and events, and a teachers' guide complete the site.


I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting.
