"In Sodom by the Sea, Newsmen Pilat and Ranson narrate with raffish gusto what they call ?an affectionate history? of the ?island? (which by filling in its dividing ditch has long since been firmly attached to the mainland). They tell all: the evolution of the amusement parks, side shows, steeplechases, sly games to trap sucker money; the fortunes made and lost by Coney financiers ; the fires that periodically gutted the wooden jungles, during one of which lions ran in the streets with manes on fire; a female exhibitionist who smoked cigars ?in a peculiar manner?; a sailor who took his girl through the darkened Old Mill ride and emerged without his pants."
