This was the edge of the fire district.” One wrong word and you might find yourself facing the business end of a bayonet-tipped Springfield rifle.
Three stories had sunk into the marshy soil before the whole building collapsed on itself.
But many of these people were able-bodied and more than willing to take an active part in saving their homes and businesses.The story of Dr. J.K. Plincz is a prime case in point. It’s been more than 100 years since the San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906, but it still ranks as “San Francisco is gone,” Jack London wrote afterward.
As he crossed into the Tenderloin, “scantily clad women were pouring out of cheap hotels,” Lowe remembered. He grew more convinced dynamiting was the city’s only salvation, even though it was clear by the second day that the strategy was deeply flawed.When dynamite stocks ran low, Funston became obsessed with finding more.
On the third afternoon a strong westerly sea breeze will probably set in, and the following days may bring fog or rain.
But when hard-pressed firemen attached hoses to hydrants, they found to their horror that there was little or no water available. Chinatown was both a thriving, self-sufficient community and a gilded ghetto, a bastion of Chinese culture and an expression of the white racism that forbade Asians to live anywhere else.To most whites, Chinatown was an exotic place of oriental mystery, where one could shop for Chinese trinkets, gawk at real or alleged opium dens, eat at a Chinese restaurant or simply stroll the streets taking in the colorful shops and temples festooned with Chinese characters and bulbous lanterns.But Chinatown was also an artificial creation, and any Asian who ventured out beyond its borders risked a severe beating — or worse — by ever vigilant white street thugs.
This ‘made ground’ was essentially landfill, and had performed badly in previous major shakes. San Francisco did rise again, and by 1915 it was hosting the Panama Pacific International Exhibition.
The only way a Chinese person could be a citizen was to be born in the United States, so hundreds came forward after the quake to get new documentation, claiming their birth certificates had been consumed by the flames. This is equivalent to $11.4 billion in 2019 dollars. The great city by the bay seemed to be doomed, immolated on its own funeral pyre.Van Ness Avenue, a broad thoroughfare that ran on a north-south axis, was a ‘natural’ firebreak and the city’s last major line of defense.
About 10 or 12 seconds after the shaking subsided, the city was rocked by a far more powerful temblor that lasted some 45 to 60 seconds. Fire department officials were in favor of the new and desperate tactic, and Funston insisted it was ‘the only way.’ Mayor Schmitz was not so sure, especially when the properties in question were owned by some of his supporters.
The Union Ferry Depot, simply called ‘Ferry Building’ by most locals, anchored the eastern end of Market. San Francisco’s very existence was the triumph of imagination over reality. Orders were orders, and it seemed foolhardy to argue with an armed soldier. In 1846 the site was largely barren sand dunes fringed with wind-stunted oaks and populated mainly by billions of fleas that tormented man and beast alike.In 1846 the scraggly little village of Yerba Buena, named after a local shrub, was clustered near the lip of Yerba Buena Cove in San Francisco Bay. By Saturday, April 21, the fire had essentially burned itself out. Old newspapers and trash had been incorporated into the building materials.
“One had only to look down through a crack in the street, where water was gushing from a broken main to see why.”The 50th anniversary coverage also included a 14-page section of previously unpublished photos — including one taken by balloon from above the city that showed the totality of the destruction — pictures “that could not be printed at the time because there were no facilities for swift reproduction.”Wrapped around the 1956 paper was a reproduction of the four-page April 19, 1906, edition — “a venture unique in the history of journalism… reprinted here in full,” for the 50th anniversary, as “no present day re-creation could just [sic] how it was at the moment of San Francisco’s greatest disaster.”The April 19, 1906, paper was reported and printed as a joint edition of three of the city’s daily newspapers while fires were still raging through the city.
