San Francisco Before And After The Earthquake

San Francisco Before And After The Earthquake

by Will Irwin

In April 1906, San Francisco was devastated by a massive earthquake and the subsequent fires. Will Irwin, a San Franciscan living in New York at the time, wrote a poignant piece for The Sun newspaper, reminiscing about the city that was no more. He called it "The City That Was." Four years later, Irwin returned to San Francisco and was amazed by the rebuilding. He wrote a second piece for The San Francisco Call, entitled "The City That Is." This book contains both of Irwin's pieces, offering a unique perspective on the tragedy and the resilience of the city.
