Biking to SF after 1906 earthquake

This is quite an extraordinary journal - Our Bicycle travels to San Francisco on the Main Highway At That Time, volume II.

Volume I is The Earthquake Story of Stanford University.

Both good places to see where palm trees are growing in 1906.

Bancroft has put a nice wrapper around their earthquake collection.

Golden Gate view 1860's

Calisphere

I think we are looking at the future site of the PPIE, perhaps 50 years before. "The Presidio and Golden Gate from Russian Hill" is the title that shows up if you enlarge the photo.

Hardly any trees!

Everyone else was on the move, too
