Soft Cover Full Gloss. Condition: USED_VERYGOOD. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. ## THIS BOOK: It has been read but still tight, some discolouring around the edged, and the pages are slightly discoloured, more to do with the paper used. ## ## 'The Barbary Coast's history properly begins with the gold rush to California in 1849. If the precious yellow metal hadn't been discovered, San Francisco's underworld's development in all likelihood would have been indistinguishable from that of any other large American city. Instead, owing almost entirely to the influx of gold-seekers and the horde of gamblers, thieves, harlots, politicians and other felonious parasites who battened upon them. There arose a unique criminal district that for almost seventy years was the scene of more viciousness and depravity, but which at the same time possessed more glamour than any other area of vice and iniquity on the American continent.'## San Francisco was born in an explosion from which the infant city emerged full-grown and raging wild. From all over the world, practitioners of every vice stampeded for the blood and money of the goldfields. Gambling dens ran all day, including Sundays. From noon to noon houses of prostitution offered girls of every age and race. (In the 1850s, San Francisco was home to only one woman for every thirty men.) Herbert Asbury's riveting history takes us deep into the world of banditry, opium bouts, tong wars and corruption, from the eureka at Sutter's Mill until the last bagnio closed its doors seventy years later. ## #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.
