Book Description
Excerpt from The Tourists Companion and Guide to Coney Island, Fort Hamilton, Bath Beach, Sheepshead Bay, Rockaway Beach and Far Rockaway: To Which Is Added a Description of Public Buildings, Famous Landmarks, Parks, Churches, Theatres, Libraries, Art Galleries and Other Matters of Interest to Strangers, in the City New York and Vicinity When the days grow hotter inland; when the dust of Julv begins to settle in the streets of the great city, and the nights become more and more insufferable, here along the coast the even-tempered breezes charm away the heat. The pure salt breath of the ocean as it greets you is a tonic invitation to resist depression and decay. The resistless, eternal splash of the waves - the deep blue waves - suggest power with ease and beauty, as each scattered drop is gathered and dashed again and again at your feet. Your prompted energies quicken and revive; you realize to the full, intensities of ex pression. You are delighted with the briskness of life; the exhilarating air; the marked sense of health; the gay colors which are so agreeable in the cool shadows of the afternoon.

Book Description
A community overlooking the New York Bay, Bay Ridge began to change in the 1900s and has since continued to evolve. Rapid population growth in the 20th century caused the community to shift from an agrarian society to a prime urban center of stores, houses of worship, homes, and mass transportation.
