Storm Amy made it blustery, but Kells still turned out in style. Great company, lively chat, and kind words for The Red Branch, describing it as a story that lingers. I’ll happily take that.

The Embarcadero in the 1880s was San Francisco’s lifeline: ships, cargo, immigrants, and no shortage of thieves, sailors & gamblers. A short walk from the Barbary Coast, it was the city’s front door to the world.

THE BAREKNUCKLE POLICE CHIEF AND HIS INTELLECTUAL ALLY The crowbar versus the mug shot in 19th century San Francisco.

What was North Beach like in the 1880s? Think saloons, boarding houses, and the clash of immigrant culturesm Italian, Irish, Chinese, all packed against the bay. A different skyline to today.
