The Earthquake and Fire of 1906. Then the rebuilding process. Up from the ashes. A Herculean effort moredramatic and frenetic than the disaster itself.  San Francisco bounces back even grander than before.  Hosting the Navy, Uncle Sam's Great White Fleet, "the most spectacular  show on earth."  Finally, thePanama-Pacific International Exposition, 1915.  San Francisco welcomes the world.  Splashy!  Sophisticated!  Magical!  The city's most memorable event of the century.  Join historian Michael Svanevik for this unforgettable 8-week series.  Not to be missed!
