Trefethen and Elizabeth Haas Eisenhardt Interviews Conducted by Suzanne B. Riess in 1995 Copyright 1997 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Evelyn Danzig Haas dated March 6, 1995.

Surveying the area through a lens of geographic place and space, this research will look at the historical factors that led to the rise of a counterculture here. To contextualize this development, it is necessary to examine the development of a cosmopolitan neighborhood after World War II that was multicultural and bohemian into something culturally unique.

  • An Ecologist's Years with Bush Bums, Anarchists, and Other Arctic Wildlife
    WILD with Latitude celebrates close encounters with Arctic beasts, human and otherwise. The author mingled with wild apes - bush bums, trappers, goldminers, mushers, and even townsfolk. And, when he wasn't face to face with apes, he was having close encounters with other charismatic creatures including bears, muskoxen, wolves, moose, and "Earth's Best Bird." His stories describe the adventure of being a semi- feral ecologist in the Brooks Range and the lives of extreme yet ordinary Alaskans.

ENJOY! WILD with Latitude celebrates close encounters with Arctic beasts, human and otherwise. During 11 years of ecological field work in northern Alaska, the author mingled WILD with Latitude with wild apes — bush bums, redneck renegades, sourdoughs, societal dropouts, homesteaders, end-of-the-roaders, crusaders, nudists, Arctic explorers, adventure racers, trappers, goldminers, baseball aficionados, mushers, bohemians, and even fellow ecologists. These diverse humans share a sense of bold adventure, a healthy disrespect for mainstream values, and an esthetic appreciation for the vast wild lands. Their grit, unconventional lifestyle, and worldview make them ideal characters. These Arctic apes are not just wacky and colorful. They’re wild. When the author wasn’t face to face with apes, he was having close encounters with other charismatic creatures, including bears, muskoxen, wolves, moose, and “Earth’s Best Bird.” Some of these encounters were of the adrenaline-spiking variety.

    WHAT Architect WHERE Notes Zone 1: Fisherman’s Warf and the Piers + North Beach Pier 39 is a shopping center and popular tourist attraction built in 1978. The marina is also home to the floating Forbes Island restaurant. The sea lions at Pier 39 have become a tourist attraction in their own right. Although the reason for their migration to the pier *** Pier 39 Warren Simmons Pier 39 is unclear, the refurbishing of the docks in September 1989 required the removal of all boats from that area, leaving large open spaces for the sea lions to move into. Once the project was completed, boat owners returned, but did their best to navigate around the sea lions; no efforts were made to encourage the new guests to leave. Aquarium of the Bay was built in 1996 as an aquarium. It added additional attractions to the original building and has 273 species and more than 60,000 fish. Sharks circle overhead, manta rays sweep by and seaweed sways all around at the Aquarium of the Bay, where you * Aquarium of the Bay ?
