In 1914, desperate for land after the Gold Rush brought a population explosion to San Francisco, the city exiled its cemeteries, barring burials within city limits and relocating its existing graveyards to the tiny town of Colma, just south of Daly City, spawning America's only necropolis, where the dead outnumber the living 1000 to 1. But there's more to the story of the Bay Area's cemeteries than this expulsion. Silent Cities San Francisco reveals the complex cultural makeup of the Bay Area, where diversity and history collide, pitting the dead against the living in a race for space and memorialization.
History of closing the cemeteries in San Francisco, transferring the remains to Colma, and stories on each cemetery in Colma.
The definitive biography of San Francisco's celebrated archbishop, Edward J. Hanna, who was "Archbishop of the Bay" from 1912-1935, replete with photos, bibliography, index and endnotes.
