Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The City That Is: The Story of the Rebuilding of San Francisco in Three Years The physical restoration of San Francisco offers twofold difficulties to one who attempts to write of it comprehensively. The feat is so recent that it lacks definite perspective; and in its industrial, commercial and spiritual significance it so far transcends anything that men have known, that he who would measure accurately must first contrive a new yardstick and a new scales. The present account records the personal impressions of one privileged to know San Francisco intimately before, during and after disaster days, who finds it possible to forget the unparalleled destruction which befell his city in the joyous contemplation of the city´s resurrection. The new structures of steel and stone, magnificent and imposing, are, in their finest meaning, monuments to the unquenchable devotion which conjured them. They proclaim a people superior to great tribulation. This book has grown out of an article by the same author, bearing the same title, which appeared in the April, 1909, issue of Sunset Magazine. The courtesy of the editor of Sunset in permitting re-use of the title, of portions of the article, and also certain photographs, is gratefully acknowledged.
