Summary

This sequel to Boston's North Shore is an affectionate history of America's first and most fascinating summer resort in its resplendent prime, from the Gilded Nineties to Black Friday. Through times of war and economic crisis, of great opulence and great social change, the North Shore continued to provide "exclusiveness-by-the-sea" for the rich and famous, as well as relief for and sweltering city dweller with the pirce (ten cents) of a round-trip trolley ticket to Revere Beach, Boston's "phoney Coney." - Book jacket
