A concise, "colorful, well-told" history of the City by the Bay, from the Gold Rush to the Summer of Love to the twenty-first century (Los Angeles Times).
This is the story of San Francisco, a unique and rowdy tale with a legendary cast of characters. It tells of the Indians and the Spanish missions, the arrival of thousands of gold seekers and gamblers, crackbrains and dreamers, the building of the transcontinental railroad and the cable car, labor strife and political shenanigans, the 1906 earthquake and fire, two World Wars, two World's Fairs, two great bridges, the beatniks and hippies and New Lefta story that is so marvelous and wild that it must be true.
A new afterword from the author in this updated third edition brings The City into the twenty-first centurya time just as hectic, experimental, and opportunistic as its rambunctious past.
