San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf (CA) (Images of America)
Author Alessandro Baccari Jr. is the founder and president of the Fisherman's Wharf Historical Society, former chairman of the Mayor's Committee for the Preservation and Beautification of Fisherman's Wharf, and for 30 years was the executive secretary of the Fisherman's Wharf Merchants Association. He is also the president of the Fisherman's and Seamen's Memorial Chapel. Baccari presents here a stirring tale of tenacity in the face of adversity and a history of Fisherman's Wharf that is known to very few of its millions of visitors.
