oh that's a shame - it was doing really well until the part around 45 minutes in - about the chinese and 'white' war going on - you forgot the part where the chinese were talking all the jobs of the people already there - sort of like the illegals are taking jobs now from AMERICANS ALREADY HERE. Then you say it was one sided. that is also not true. the hostility had been growing and there were alot of theft and even rape and murder committed by the chinese who were dumped here and left to fend for themselves KIND OF EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING IN A DEMOCRAT RUN SAN FRANCISCO and california - usa etc Libertarian comments were hilarious - what a buffooon

I am a descendant of a member of the party that founded San Francisco. There is an annual ceremony on founding day at the Presidio where we lay flowers honoring our descendants.

Your ancestors would be amused that your honor your descendants. 😆

The year 1999 was the year I went to Sanfrancisco. I was to have one of the most exciting time of my life which I would miss for the rest of my life. Now living in my home country, South Korea, I watch u tube videos showing Sanfrancisco like this, once in a while, hoping to get a chance to visit there sometime soon. It being such a beautiful city, I hear it is having hard time dealing with economic difficulties and some social problems like illegal drugs prevalent throughout the city... I hope things will get better...

I moved to SF after college (late 1980s). It was the best decision I ever made. SF was just becoming a hub for tech companies. My life is quite boring now. I left my heart there... RIP TB Thank god for cams online.❣

My Great Great Grandfather and his brothers were among the "Forty-niners" who arrived by ship to San Francisco in 1849 to do general store business both in San Francisco and in Sacramento. Stayed in both places through 1850 with one brother staying in Mendocino and Sacramento until about 1870 doing lumber and general store business. Do not know if any found much gold or even tried but I bet they did. Big flooding in 1850 and one brother died of maybe Cholera that they described as Dysentery in 1850 so they mostly went back East.

The news about the gold rush reached the other side of the Pacific Ocean. To This day, Sam Francisco is still called the Old Mt of Gold in Chinese. The reason it's called the old is to distinguish it from the new Mt of Gold which is in Melbourne, Australia.

Great documentary. Can’t believe it’s been twenty five years since it was originally aired. San Francisco is my second home town. Born and raised in New York City. But I love SF. Everything about it. Especially its history. Unfortunately the city is going through yet another test. Poor governance and lack of leadership is having a negative impact on the city. The ‘89 earthquake such an incredible event. But we got through it. Everyone pulled together and got our beloved city back on track. What is happening now is just incredibly sad. But it’s happening in every city in the United States. But when this happens to an absolutely beautiful place like SF it’s just awful. Stop being soft on crime and take care of our city.

The opera house interior shown at 11:19 is not the Adelphi Opera House. It is Wade's Opera House. later known as the Grand Opera House, which was built in the late 1800's.

First resident? what about the native american Olone people who lived there??

@rockypalmer6779 Жыл бұрын

Mentioned in the first sentence. Vanquished. By Colonialism and disease. Natives made no contribution to "San Francisco, the City". This ain't Seattle. San Francisco was a bunch of sand dunes. The natives didn't develop it. There were no pyramids like St Louis. There was no great cities here, again like St Louis that had over 100,000 people living there. Can't see what the Natives contributed to San Francisco. In fact, Chinese did a lot more. You should talk about the Chinese contribution. In fact, all natives came originally from China. Wake up. 😅 Any other questions?

This is a good documentary, but not great. It zigz zagz between specific aspects and points in time. It needed better structure and writing. New York, a Documentary Film was an epic masterpiece, with David Ogden Stiers narrating. That is the gold standard of documentaries to follow.

This a huge lie. Who did this? You don't even name the founder of the city, Juan Bautista de Anza. Fake news, a shame.

@Jeenaynay Жыл бұрын

Just because they excluded details like the original founder's name doesn't necessarily mean the whole video is a lie. Could you elaborate on the lies presented in this video? I would genuinely like to know what they got wrong. Also, if you don't know what KRON4 is, that tells me you're not from SF. Perhaps you are just a history buff of random cities? 😋

@rockypalmer6779 Жыл бұрын

Anza arrived in Monterey on March 10, 1776. Then Anza set out to explore the San Francisco peninsula. Together with Fr. Font, he selected a place for a new presidio and mission in what is today San Francisco. Anza returned to Sonora in fall of 1776 He didn't "found" the city. He only was there a very short time, a few weeks to select the site of the mission (to convert Natives to his Catholicism). Then he went back to Sonora. That's it. Essentially he was a Mexican on vacation here. So what. 😅
