A9781647792497Paperback / softback. New. Those who recognize Mayor George Moscone's name may think of him as the career politician who was assassinated along with Harvey Milk but there was much more to this influential and fascinating man's story. He was a trailblazing progressive and powerful state legislator who was instrumental in passing legislation on issues ranging from LGBT rights to funding for school lunches. Moscone's 1975 campaign for mayor was historically significant because it was the first time a major race was won by a candidate who campaigned aggressively for expanding civil rights for both African Americans and LGBT people. He won his campaign for mayor chiefly because of huge support from those two constituencies. <br /> <br /> Moscone was also a very colorful character who in addition to being a successful politician was a charming and charismatic bon vivant who was deeply embedded in the fabric and culture of San Francisco. He grew up the only son of a single mother in Cow Hollow when it was a working class largely Italian American neighborhood and he became the kind of politician who knew bartenders playground attendants small business owners and neighborhood activists in every corner of the city. Moscone's life and the history of San Francisco during the middle half of the twentieth century are deeply intertwined. <br /> <br /> Through illustrating the life of Moscone author Lincoln A. Mitchell explores how today's San Francisco came into being. Moscone—through his work in the State Senate victory in the very divisive 1975 mayor's race and brief tenure as mayor—was a key figure in the city's evolution. The politics surrounding Moscone's election as mayor governance of the city and tragic death are still relevant issues. Moscone was a groundbreaking politician whose life was cut short but his influence on San Francisco can still be felt today. paperback

18562209140064Boston: Nathaniel Noyes 1856. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Disaster in the White Mountains 12mo. Hardcover. Good binding and cover. Clean unmarked pages. 72 pages. Early signature of "N.R. Preston Boston 1857" on front end page. <br> "Dr. Ball a Harvard graduate went for a hike on a rainy autumn afternoon up the unfinished Mount Washington carriage road. Though aware of both the late hour and the lateness of the season and having knowledge of the death of Lizzie Bourne from exposure on the mountain the month before Ball did not turn back when rain turned to sleet and then snow. He endured three days and two nights in a blizzard protected solely by his umbrella. This was a survival so unparalleled in the past and so unlikely to be repeated in the future as to be worthy of putting into print. Ironically Ball survived the cold of Mount Washington only to die of the heat in Panama at age 39." - Sotheby's Fine Manuscript and Printed Americana 2020. Refs: Bent p. 2; Hammond p. 20; Sabin 2933.
