Since its publication in 1972, "San Francisco's Telegraph Hill" has been considered the definitive history of one of the San Francisco's oldest and most beloved neighborhoods. This new edition brings back into print that fascinating account with all of the original photographs, and completes the story up to the present through the addition of thirty-two new pages and many additional photographs.
David F. Myrick has long had an interest in the history and geography of the western United States which began when he learned that one of his ancestors left Vermont in 1850 by covered wagon to come to San Francisco. Living on Telegraph Hill for almost three decades, he shared his enthusiasm for this special place with his neighbors. After serving for five years as editor and publisher of the neighborhood journal Telegraph Hill (no The Semaphore), he wrote the history of the hill.
