Found this nice link on San Francisco history today. It has a selection of artices and books, all free. I've read one of them already, Herbert Asbury's Barbary Coast. Asbury also wrote Gangs of New York which was adapted into Scorcese's movie. I recommend reading Barbary Coast it truly is an amazing look into the absolute craziness that went on in San Francisco from the chaos of the Gold Rush to about the 1920's, when the Barbary Coast was regulated into submission. I'm going to have fun exploring this site...
