Alioto puts the microscope of historical research on the period 1835 – 1848, something which has not been done before. In doing so, he explores those features of the birth of San Francisco. Alioto brilliantly and thoroughly lays out the specifics of this growing town, allowing readers to understand the development of one of the world’s most iconic, financially successful (the San Francisco Peninsula is the greatest producer of wealth in the world) and beautiful cities. — Charles A. Fracchia, San Francisco 2020
