    Part 2 Interview with author Terry Hamburg "Land of the Dead, How the West Changed Death in America"
    Mar 23 2025

    This is Part 2 of my interview with author Terry Hamburg, author of "Land of the Dead, How the West Changed Death in America".

    In this episode Terry tells us how the four main cemeteries dealt with evicting the dead by the 1940s. I assure you, it's a fascinating story and it will give you historical reference for many parts of San Francisco as well as Colma's necropolis history.

    Part 1 Interview with author Terry Hamburg "Land of the Dead, How the West Changed Death in America"
    Feb 18 2025

    This episode is an interview with author Terry Hamburg, who wrote a very interesting book on all things dying, death, and burial in San Francisco history. We cover the earliest history of Colma and specifically discuss one cemetery, Cypress Lawn.

    This subject matter might not be for everyone, but please know I approach the discussion about the history of death and burials in San Francisco with respect and genuine curiosity. I think you’ll find it fascinating.

  • S4 E5 Was Montgomery's Landing "near this spot"?

    S4 E5 Was Montgomery's Landing "near this spot"?
    Dec 16 2024

    The history I’ve read regarding July 9th, 1846, states that the USS Portsmouth pulled up to the shoreline at Montgomery and Clay Street, marines disembarked from the ship and onto land, then marched up Clay Street to raise the American flag in Portsmouth Square. It’s stated as if the soldiers stepped off the ship and directly onto land. But, is that accurate?

This podcast about the origins of San Francisco is the best that I’ve heard. I just wish the podcasts were more frequent and longer! It reminds of the Bowery Boys podcast of New York history. Keep going!

Best podcast about early SF history

From what I’ve heard so far (this episode and part of another), this is an excellent series partly because it challenges assumptions (including my assumptions) and carefully explains those challenges!
If you are a San Fransiscan or care about San Francisco and it's history, YOU need to give THIS series a chance!!

No reviews? That’s wrong!
