Small portrait: "Hon. H. P. Cheatham, The Only Colored Representative Elected To the 51st Congress". Fullpg. has 7 scenes: "New York City", "The Method Of Sending A Telegram", "Scenes In The Main Office Of The Western Union Telegraph Company", and more. 16 pages in good condition.  The double page centerfold has small binding holes - which have been archivally mended, and are barely noticeable (see photos).<br /> <br /> HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: The Native American inhabitants of the area called the island Narrioch, "land without shadows", because, in common with other south shore Long Island beaches, its compass orientation keeps the beach area in sunlight all day.<br /> <br /> The Dutch name for the island was Conyne Eylandt[1], or Konijn Eiland (Rabbit Island) using modern Dutch spelling. This name is found on the New Netherland map of 1639 by Johannes Vingboon. (New York State and New York City were originally Dutch Settlements, referred to as New Netherland and New Amsterdam respectively.). As with other Long Island barrier islands, Coney Island was virtually overrun with rabbits, and rabbit hunting was common until the resorts were developed and most open space eliminated.<br /> <br /> It is generally accepted that Coney Island is the English adaptation of the Dutch name, Konijn Eiland. Coney is an obsolete and dialectical English word for rabbit. Coney came into the English language through Old French (Conil), which derives from the Latin word for rabbit, cuniculus. The English name "Conney Isle" was used on maps as early as 1690[2] and by 1733 the modern spelling "Coney Island" was used[3]. The John Eddy map of 1811 also uses the modern "Coney Island" spelling [4].<br /> <br /> Even though the history of Coney Island's name and its Anglicization can be traced through historical maps spanning the 17th century to the present[5] and that all the names translate to "Rabbit Island" in modern English, there are still those who contend that the name derives from other sources. Some say that early English settlers named it Coney Island after its cone-like hills. Others claim that an Irish captain named Peter O'Connor had named Coney Island after an island in Ireland in the 1700's. Yet another purported origin is from the name of the Indian tribe (the Konoh tribe) who supposedly once inhabited it. A further claim is that the island is named after Henry Hudson's "right-hand-man" John Coleman, who was killed there by Indians. Most of these claims can be found in a posting on the PBS website.
