Description
San Francisco's fascinating history is all around you in the city's street names. Did you know that San Francisco has streets named for: An explorer who didn't recognize Monterey Bay when he saw it. A surveyor who had to flee for his life after making Market Street too wide. A Pennsylvania bank clerk who came to California because he had lost $7,000 of his employer's * in a poker game. A Navy lieutenant who convinced the Army it needed a Camel Corps. This book reveals the hidden stories behind the names: the con men and conquistadors, the preachers and the presidents, the mayors and the millionaires - even the milkman - who are immortalized in City signposts. Five walks will guide you through areas where evidence of San Francisco's wild and colorful past can still be seen today.
