Now back in print with a new introduction by the author, this is the classic study of America's most admired instant city, from its days as a sleepy Mexican village, through the Gold Rush and into its establishment as a major international port. Roger Lotchin examines the urbanizing influences in San Francisco and compares these to other urban centers, doing so against a colorful backdrop of opium dens and other sinful institutions.

Reviews for San Francisco, 1846-1856
"Comprehensive and absorbing. . . . Roger Lotchin's prose style is brilliant, his research staggering, and his conclusions thought-provoking. This is urban history at its best."
Kenneth T. Jackson, Columbia University "This 'almost shamefully readable book' will be of 'dramatic interest to anyone concerned with American history, American cities, or
more fundamentally
the American character.'"
