Description
Excerpt from Men and Memories of San Francisco in the Spring of 50
Years ago it was no unfrequent thing for old resi dentes, who, in the course of conversation, had arrived at a point of doubt or difference upon the location of some building, or the names of its occupants, their personal appearance, profession, or peculiarities in the Spring of to come to us for information on the mooted point, believing that our long continued residence and peculiar Opportunities for observation, together with unusually good memories, rendered our decisions worthy of consideration. As Time''s incessant revolution whirls us on and on, still farther from those days, and looking back upon the long vista of years, the once familiar spots and well known forms and faces fade in the distance. These inquiries increase day by day, and so often have we been correct, that many of our friends have said: Write some of the reminiscences of those old times.
