In April 1906, San Francisco faced devastating destruction from a massive earthquake followed by relentless fires. Will Irwin, who was living in New York at the time, captured the heart-wrenching essence of a city lost in a poignant article for The Sun titled The City That Was. Four years later, upon returning to San Francisco, he marveled at the remarkable transformation and resilience of the city, penning a second piece for The San Francisco Call called The City That Is. Irwins initial work gained widespread acclaim, solidifying his reputation as a talented reporter. Join us as we explore the profound changes in San Francisco through Irwins eyes, reflecting on both the tragedy and the rebirth of this iconic city.Copyright Science Stories アート 世界 文学史・文学批評 社会科学 科学
