DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Along the Pacific by Land and Sea: Through the Golden Gate After being engaged in the active practice of law at Des Moines, Iowa, for thirty years, I concluded to discontinue and enter upon a period of travel in this and foreign countries, both for pleasure and information. Being interested in political, social and governmental questions from past activities and studies in these various lines, my purpose was to broaden and enlarge my information on these subjects for my own personal benefit and pleasure alone. On my departure the editor and manager of the Register and Leader of Des Moines, Iowa, came to me and requested that I write my observations and send them to his paper for the benefit and pleasure of its readers. As it is located in the state capital and is the largest and possibly the most influential political paper in the state, with the largest daily circulation, I concluded to do so. On my return I found my letters had been extensively read by all classes of people, and commented on by individuals and periodicals of standing and reputation, many requesting me to put the same in book form for preservation, and this is the reason the letters in this volume have made their appearance in this form. He who reads and finds pleasure and information herein gives me much pleasure in thus honoring me. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSeminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1 (A), San Francisco State University (Englsih Department), course: San Francisco, 8 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: HISTORICAL BACKGROUND In the late 1800's traveling to San Francisco has not been easy. By sea the city was always readily accessible, from the south, land travelers could journey uninterrupted up the peninsula that separated the Pacific from the Bay. But travelers from the north and east did not have such ready access to the city. They could turn southward when they came to the water and make the arduous two-day journey around the Bay and up the peninsula, or they could seek conveyance by water across the unpredictable and sometimes treacherous tides of San Francisco Bay. There was a ferry service provided and the boats ran on a regular, planned basis and carried tens of thousands of people across the Bay to work in the morning and returning home in the evening. However, the ferries were quite slow and unpredictable. If the seas were high ferries might not sail or at least be terribly offschedule. The tricky Bay fogs sometimes made the journey frightening and dangerous. In heavy seas and high winds, the ferryboats sometimes pitched and tossed wildly, leaving the passengers ill and terrified. The need for a bridge over the Golden Gate was obvious and many people might have wondered at that time if the narrow passageway of sea between Lime and Ford points would be ever bridged.
