5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent book! Easy to read, and very descriptive!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bummer & Lazarus: San Francisco's Famous Dogs : A True Story, As Reported in the Newspapers of 1861-1865 (Paperback)
This book is great, if you love fun historical anecdotes about the old days in San Francisco. This book brings alive, through old newspaper accounts and great narration - the exploits of two of San Francisco's favorite dogs, Bummer and Lazarus. Noone owned them, they just roamed around old gold-rush era San Francisco, getting handouts from people at the rowdy saloons. But people loved these dogs, as they displayed very loyal bonds to one another, and their antics always made the newspaper columns. Highly recommended!

Unravels legend and presents explanations,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bummer & Lazarus: San Francisco's Famous Dogs (Paperback)
The story of two stray dogs who roamed San Francisco's urban streets in the 1860s is a classic which has been embellished over the years, and Bummer & Lazarus provides a new, expanded version of the author's 1984 publication which unravels legend and presents explanations for how and why the embellishments on the stories occurred. News stories, photos and a new introduction enhance this fun survey.
