DESCRIPTION:Up through 1882 it was relatively easy to enter California without a 
 passport. Come along on a FREE walking tour blitzing through ten 1804-1898 
 stories depicting the land-grubbing mystique of California. From the 
 czar-crossed romance of Rezanov and Concepcion to the wild gold-lust of 
 1849 to the Chinese railroad labor coolies to Frederick Jackson Turner's 
 1890 "The Significance of the Frontier in American History" thesis, this 
 walk demands an explanation for the need for passports to inhabit planet 
 Earth. From the delusional Emperor Norton to the clear-eyed Henry George, 
 San Francisco has provided a rebuke to the scandalous notion of limited 
 world citizenship. Spend an hour to join Thomas Paine in declaring, "My 
 attachment is to all the world, and not to any particular part."\n
