A Slice of History and Real Life in Old San Francisco
One day, in 2005, I was rummaging through memorabilia in my mother's basement in San Francisco, when I came upon an old, musty box dating back to the turn of the 2Oth century, containing my grandparents' writings and collections about the City by the Bay. I realized that I was holding in my hands, pieces of history-treasures, documented through my grandparents' real life experiences, reflecting not only their personal lives but encompassing San Francisco history from before the 1906 Earthquake and beyond. This site is dedicated to sharing with you authentic accounts of history through my San Francisco ancestors' letters, artifacts, photos, stories and family memoirs. Let their voices speak through mine.
