The book she wrote and included this handbill in is called &quot;<i>America the Beautiful - The Stirring True Story Behind Our Nation&#039;s Favorite Song</i>&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>The broadside is a trip from Newton, NJ to Coney Island. The broadside refers to &quot;the Newton Steamer Company&quot; which in fact is the fire company that Charles Steel belonged to in 1881 in Newton.</p><p><br /></p><p>Below the broadside you will see the tickets that he used and you can tell for the most part what route they traveled to get there and how, the Delaware Lackawanna &amp; Western Railroad and then on to the Iron Steamboat Co. to get to Coney Island.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]330400[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]330398[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]330399[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
