DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The City That Was: A Requiem of Old San Francisco The climate of California is peculiar; it is hard to give an impression of it. In the region about San Francisco, all the forces of nature work on their own laws. There is no thunder and lightning; there is no snow, except a flurry once in five or six years; there are perhaps half a dozen nights in the winter when the thermometer drops low enough so that in the morning there is a little film of ice on exposed water Neither is there any hot weather. Yet most Easterners remaining in San Francisco for a few days remember that they were always chilly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from A Little Girl in Old San Francisco It was a long journey for a little girl, so long indeed that the old life had almost faded from her mind, and seemed like something done in another existence. When she was younger still she had once surprised her mother by saying, "Mother, where did I live before I came here?" The pale, care-worn woman had glanced at her in vague surprise and answered rather fretfully, "Why, nowhere, child." "Oh, but I remember things," said the little girl with a confident air, looking out of eyes that seemed to take an added shade from her present emotions. "Nonsense! You can't remember things that never happened. That's imagining them, and it isn't true. If you told them they would be falsehoods. There, go out and get me a basket of chips." She was afraid of telling falsehoods, most of those rigid people called them by their plain name, "lies," and whipped their children. So the little girl kept them to herself; she was a very good and upright child as a general thing and knew very little about her tricky father. But she went on imagining. Especially when she studied geography, which she was extravagantly fond of, yet she could never quite decide which country she had lived in.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Founding of San Francisco Clearly, not much progress with the formation of San Francisco could be expected under these circumstances. Something, however, had been attempted in March and April, 1772, when Fages made an overland expedition to the bay. He attempted to get around it, but failed, and returned to Monterey. He had made no examination of the bay itself, the merits of which as a port remained unknown. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Vignettes of San Francisco IN the same way that the poets have loved Rome and made their pilgrimages there - as good Mos lems travel toward Mecca, so there are some of us who have come to San Francisco. Then when we ar rive and find it all that we have dreamed, our love for it becomes its highest tribute. And I don't know why it is sacrilege to mention Rome and San Francisco in the same breath. As for me I greatly prefer San F ran cisco, although I have never been to Rome. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Chinese in San Francisco It is not too sweeping a declaration to make to say that there is scarcely a habitation in Chinatown in which the so-called Cubic Air Ordinance is not constantly violated. This constant and habitual violation of the munici pal regulation illustrates in the most forcible manner the truth of the asser tion which we have already made, that the habits and mode of life among the Chinese here are not much above those of the rats on the water front. It is not the desire or intention of your Committee to present any extreme case selected from any particular locality, to illustrate any feature of the peculiarities of Mongolian life in Chinatown, but rather to convey to the Board and the public, as far as it is possible to do so, a fair idea of the con dition of things in that locality, and a general comprehension of the mode of life of this class of our population.
