AROUND THE WORLD IN SAN FRANCI

Excerpt from Around the World in San FranciscoWith all its di¿iculties many of which are not purely or specially its own, but the country's and the worlds of which it is a part, San Francisco is a fortunate city. There are several bases for this statement, but I shall not try to make a full list of them here. In fact, I shall mention but one, namely, the great diversity of the national and racial backgrounds of its population. Therein lies perhaps one of its most important resources, which has not yet begun to be developed, but which is there. I do not need to elaborate on this. The explanations of why this is so are implicit in this book.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
