Imperial San Francisco: Urban Power, Earthly Ruin (California Studies in Critical Human Geography)

Imperial San Francisco: Urban Power, Earthly Ruin (California Studies in Critical Human Geography) Review


First published in 1999, this celebrated history of San Francisco traces the exploitation of both local and distant regions by prominent families--the Hearsts, de Youngs, Spreckelses, and others--who gained power through mining, ranching, water and energy, transportation, real estate, weapons, and the mass media. The story uncovered by Gray Brechin is one of greed and ambition on an epic scale.
