 info@californiapioneers.org  The Society of California Pioneers presents  
 First Thursday Lecture Series  The Barbary Plague: The Black Death in 
 Victorian San Francisco, this relatively forgotten event in San Francisco 
 history, will be the topic of Marilyn Chase's discussion on Thursday, May 
 6th, 2004. Ms. Chase, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, will take us 
 back to turn of the century San Francisco, when the "Paris of the Pacific" 
 had a population denying the problem of the plague, politicians lying to 
 the public, and men like Dr. Rupert Blue, Quarantine Officer, whose courage 
 became legendary.  The evening will begin with a reception at 5:30 with the 
 lecture from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.  Admission is $5.  On the day of the lecture, 
 the museum will stay open until 6 p.m.  The First Thursday Lecture Series 
 will continue with a discussion of the California grizzly on July 1st.
