DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with LaborFest 2016\n\nThe book is centered on the San 
 Francisco General Strike of 1934, and features many of the historic figures 
 from that time, including Harry Bridges and the leaders of The 
 International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU). In the summer of 1934, 
 a strange silence descended on San Francisco. Streetcars disappeared. Gas 
 stations closed. Theater marquees turned off. Stores and restaurants locked 
 their doors. Butcher shops ran out of meat. The wealthy decamped to their 
 country estates. It was as if the city had died. In this debut novel, 
 Daniel Bacon describes the forces that led to this extraordinary state of 
 affairs.\n\n“A rollicking good tale about tough times on the gritty old 
 Frisco waterfront.”  --Carl Nolte, columnist, San Francisco 
 Chronicle\n\nDaniel Bacon is a writer, educator, and San Francisco 
 Historian. In 1995, he founded the Barbary Coast Trail, a 3.8-mile walking 
 tour connecting twenty of San Francisco’s most important historic sites. 
 He is the author of the guidebook Walking San Francisco on the Barbary 
 Coast Trail and has written numerous articles about San Francisco history 
 for local and national publications.\n\nPublished by Quicksilver Press\n\n
