Y\5$ In History by James Harvey Mitchell, Jr. San Francisco, California May, 2016 Copyright by James Harvey Mitchell, Jr. 2016 CERTIFICATION OF APPROVAL I certify that I have read The Gargoyles of San Francisco: Medievalist Architecture in Northern California 1900-1940 by James Harvey Mitchell, Jr., and that in my opinion this work meets the criteria for approving a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in History at San Francisco State University. <2 . d. rbel Rodriguez, lessor of History Philip Dreyfus Professor of History THE GARGOYLES OF SAN FRANCISCO: MEDIEVALIST ARCHITECTURE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA 1900-1940 James Harvey Mitchell, Jr. San Francisco, California 2016 After the fire and earthquake of 1906, the reconstruction of San Francisco initiated a profusion of neo-Gothic churches, public buildings and residential architecture. This thesis examines the development from the novel perspective of medievalism—the study of the Middle Ages as an imaginative construct in western society after their actual demise. It offers a selection of the best known neo-Gothic artifacts in the city, describes the technological innovations which distinguish them from the medievalist architecture of the nineteenth century, and shows the motivation for their creation. The significance of the California Arts and Crafts movement is explained, and profiles are offered of the two leading medievalist architects of the period, Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan.

Mary Kelly, a middle-aged mother from the Irish working class, had been a resident of the Jefferson Square refugee camp ever since a 7.8 magnitude earthquake and fires destroyed her city and her home in April. However, she often protested official relief methods. Because she refused to pay rent on her "earthquake cottage"--one of the many small homes constructed for refugees with the relief funds-- Lieutenant Henry T.

    ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE DAM-KEEPER’S HOUSE A thesis submitted to the faculty of San Francisco State University In partial fulfillment of A “3 the requirements for the Degree -20IQ, Master of Arts In V**2- Anthropology by David B. Daly San Francisco, California December 2016 221 Chapter 6: Domino Figure 36. Domino recovered from Level 5 of the dam-keeper house trash pit. Photo courtesy of Heritage Services, Stanford University. 222 Introduction If the working class lives of men like Duerst and Batchelder were prone to be lost to time, the interactions of the family within the home were even more ephemeral. The dam- keepers themselves left some record of their passage through life in the form of documentation related to their jobs, but the details of home life were largely unremarked upon in most permanent records. Through an imaginative window opened by a small number of artifacts in the families’ trash pit, however, we can begin to recapture the families’ leisure hours. These artifacts—found in Levels 5, 6, and 7, corresponding to the Batchelder family occupation—are hand-crafted from wood and bone, light and smooth in the hand, and part of a matching set: a set of dominoes. In this chapter, I examine the way in which the domino, even as it helps us to imagine the family’s leisure hours, also maintains an essential interpretive ambiguity for archaeological and historical interpretation and imagination. My analysis begins with a close look at the physical artifacts themselves, and a factual presentation of what we know about games of dominoes in late nineteenth-century America.

  • Hearst and Pearl Harbor a Memoir in 41 Parts
    Hearst and Pearl Harbor A Memoir in 41 Parts by Taylor Coffman Part 1 DAILY NEWSPAPERS routinely include a corrections box. This journalistic tradition goes way back; in fact, it originated more than a century ago in the better media. Never mind how the National Enquirer goes about its strange business. From The New York Times down to hundreds of other mainstream papers in this country, misspelled names or erroneous dates get corrected quickly, very often the next day. Freedom of the press is a basic American right, to be sure—but it’s also a serious matter of public trust, not to be lightly invoked. Magazines handle such matters differently. By appearing once a week or, in many instances, just once a month, their corrections tend to be stale when they finally appear. They do get published, though, if only “for the record.” With books it’s another story. In the realm of nonfiction a given edition of a biography or a historical work may have one appearance only, extending over many years before its backlog “sells through.” A good while ago my book about San Simeon called Hearst’s Dream was denounced by a nervous bureaucrat; and thus its lengthy ban in the Hearst Castle gift shop. Denied its main market, the first printing of 5,000 copies took 17 years to deplete, from 1989 to 2006. There was no feasible way to make updates to all those shrink-wrapped bundles, each comprising 10 copies. Not until about 2005 was it realistic to make any factual repairs before a second printing would finally be ordered.
