"Join us for a Podcast Journey through History.
Professor Bob tells fascinating stories of historical people, places,
and customs.
Professor Bob Packett has been teaching history for thirty years. His
passion for history permeates his entire life, from the thousands of
primary resouce materials in his personal library, to his collection of
historical artifacts.
Professor Bob loves to tell stories of the real people behind
the often sterile descriptions found in history texts. His
conversational style, filled with anecdotes, quips, and humor, will
bring to life the characters of history.
Now, through the technology of podcasting, you can also enjoy
what Professor Bob's students have been enjoying for years — history
that comes alive."

Birth of San Francisco
I would like to thank Richard Miller of http://sparkletack.com
for giving Nuestra Familia Unida permission to link
to his podcasts about the "Birth of San Francisco." Read on for his
description of his show:
"bite-sized chunks of history and culture from my favourite
city, san francisco. from the wild days of the barbary coast to
the particularities of modern life--weekly observations and stories
from america's left coast."
Birth of San Franisco #1
when i got here, san francisco was already a city -- and had been one
for the previous century and a half.
but what went on before that time? what was san francisco before it was
san francisco? i've decided to tell
the story of the pre-city peninsula, and the birth of the tiny town of
yerba buena, starting with the arrival
of the spanish in the 1770s.
Birth of San Francisco #2
part two of the pre-history of san francisco, the early life of the
village of yerba buena. the epic sweep of Mexico's
revolution and the annexation of california to the united states for
all intents and purposes passed the town by. monterey,
sonoma, and the great californio ranchos were where most of the action
was, with yerba buena developing slowly and in the
background.
in this and next week's shows i will wander through the years between
the building of that first sail-cloth shanty on the
shores of the bay and the discovery of gold in the sacramento valley. i
hope a series of stories and individual sketches
will give you a feeling for life in yerba buena during those few years.
today's show will take you up to about 1841.
Birth of San Francisco #3
part three of the pre-history of san francisco, the early life of the
village of yerba buena. this is the concluding episode
on this theme, taking you right up to the edge of 1848. in this
episode: goats, bears, mormons!
