Johnny Headstrong's Trip to Coney Island

This charming rhyming account of a day at Coney Island celebrates the end of the 19th century when millions were drawn to the Atlantic shore for a unique experience-fun in the sea and sand, carousel and donkey rides, and thrilling live attractions. Title character Johnny learns a lesson about his "heedless ways" and what sort of trouble they might bring him! With wonderful illustrations by W. Bruton, this was originally published in 1882 by McLoughlin Brothers of New York.
