Retelling forgotten stories from San Francisco's golden past, 1776 - 1906, based on newspapers, books, and personal accounts, of the time. San Francisco enthusiasts, California gold rush fans, and garden variety history geeks can discover this boom and bust city, built on the discovery of gold. *I do my best to accurately reflect the facts, and sources, in my episodes.*

    S5 Ep1 January 1847 Yerba Buena
    Mar 29 2026

    Over the past five years, I’ve shared fragments of the sometimes-comedic stories of 1847 Yerba Buena. But 1847 deserves more than scattered stories. It was a transformative year for the Pueblo de Yerba Buena, the District of San Francisco, Monterey and Alta California.

    I plan to retell the 1847 story in a multipart series. And while I’m sad to say goodbye to Yerba Buena, I’m excited to tell this next chapter, the year before the gold.

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!!

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
