Biographical / Historical
In her 1933 autobiography "Crowded Hours," Alice Roosevelt Longworth writes, "We got to San Francisco late that afternoon to spend four days before the steamer sailed. It was San Francisco before the fire—San Francisco of the old Palace Hotel, of the Poodle Dog Restaurant, of the Barbary Coast. I shall never forget those days. There was an exhilarating quality in the air, the place, the people that kept me on my toes every moment of the time there. Adventure seemed just around every corner and I was ready for it. I do not think that I ever slept."
