San Francisco Before And After The Earthquake
by Will Irwin
'San Francisco Before And After The Earthquake' Summary
In "The City That Was," Irwin describes the San Francisco he knew before the earthquake: a vibrant, cosmopolitan city full of life and promise. He recalls the city's landmarks, its people, and its unique atmosphere. In "The City That Is," Irwin returns to San Francisco four years after the earthquake and finds a city that is both familiar and strange. The city has been rebuilt, but it has also been changed. Irwin reflects on the changes that have taken place and the challenges that the city still faces. "San Francisco Before and After the Earthquake" is a valuable historical document that provides a firsthand account of one of the most significant events in American history.Book Details
