Historic Travel US - San Francisco Unveiled (2-DVD) (1934)

From Haight Ashbury to the Presidio, San Francisco's major sites are rooted in history. This eclectic collection of vintage films from the turn of the 20th century onwards sheds light on some of the city's greatest spectacles (such as the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge) while also depicting San Francisco as a leader in worker mobilization and organization. Films such as "Kidnapping in San Francisco" capture a small but news-worthy event in the city's history, while "San Francisco General Strike" shows a 1934 longshoreman worker strike that affected the entire city. Produced by the Salvation Army, "The Long Street" focuses on efforts to improve the city's less prosperous neighborhoods, while "California is Climate" presents all the climactic selling points that life on the West Coast has to offer.
