He remembered San Francisco before the money arrived. Stoddard traces the Spanish missions and the old California lying underneath the boom town: the padres, the adobe, the bay, the Bohemian years, and the city he watched turn into something else entirely. Nostalgia written by a genuine insider, and the best portrait we have of the place before the fire.
