Book Synopsis San Francisco's Potrero Hill by : Peter Linenthal
Download or read book San Francisco's Potrero Hill written by Peter Linenthal and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1800s, it was called the Potrero Nuevo, or "new pasture." Gold-rush squatters soon put the squeeze on Mission Dolores's grazing cattle, and when the fog lifted, Potrero Hill became the first industrial zone in San Francisco, with iron-smelting plants, butcheries, and shipbuilding dominating the waterfront during the late 19th century. The Hill has been home to immigrants from Scotland, Ireland, China, Russia, Mexico, and from everywhere in between. These days, many of the factories and warehouses have been converted into housing and offices for techies. And for the record, the crookedest street in San Francisco is not Lombard--it's Vermont, between 20th and 22nd.

Download or read book Abandoned! written by Jan Fleet Umhau and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Francisco was said to be the most famous private soldier in the Continental Army. Commander George Washington claimed he couldn't have won the war without him. Yet today, few Americans have heard of this remarkable soldier. A finely dressed little boy named Peter who spoke no English was abandoned on a Virginia wharf, where the Appomattox and the James rivers meet, near a town now called Hopewell. Where had he come from? Why was he abandoned? Peter Francisco's is a model American story. Cast ashore with nothing, literally, but the clothes upon his back he learned a trade as a blacksmith, found a calling in the army and managed to acquire an education. By sixteen, Peter had grown to be six and a half feet tall, a foot taller than the average man of his day. More remarkable than his height was his great strength. He was known as an American Hercules, the Virginia Giant, and a One-Man Army. At Valley Forge, Peter served with George Washington, who commissioned a huge sword to be made just for him. Peter's exploits were of such renown that a print of an engraving, One Against Nine, illustrating his 1781 action against Tarleton's Raiders, was hung in a place of honor in many parlors after the Revolution. He married well and went on to live a long and successful life, which included six fine children. When Peter Francisco died in 1831, he was given a State funeral with full military honors. The officiating minister took note of Peter's strength ..".Superior to that of any man in [his] time...exerted in defense of the country which [he called home.]" Peter never remembered where he had come from, but 200 years after he was born, in 1960 his birth certificate was found in the Portuguese Azores. Written for middle-schoolers and others, this story is a work of fiction based on facts that will give an overview of the American War for Independence told through the exciting exploits of Peter Francisco.
