註釋Young's comprehensive history of San Francisco begins with the Spanish explorer Balboa, but is especially interesting for its analysis of the Gold Rush. Chapters 18-30 detail San Francisco's importance during this period in history. The population of the city rose from about 1000 in 1848 to over 25,000 a year later, and Young's history explains how the city was able to overcome the challenges that this type of population boom created.
