The Disappearance of San Francisco's Bay
posted November 2, 2009 - 6:23pmIf there are any history majors at Xomba, I challenge each and everyone to read more on California's ample past to determine whether or not it can also be applied to the histories of your region.
Very few people are even are aware that both Washington and Oregon States have their historical roots hidden deep inside California's history. Washington's well explored Puget Sound was in fact discovered by a Spanidard.
What other area of the world can boast that Eastern Europe took many of its cues? California has its Fort Ross, as well as its most noteable Resanov, whom in Japan became so frustrated with his misfortune he eventually bombed it. That is, well before his eventual arrival in California. Was it not admiral Parry, who brought modern nationalism to that Pacific island when he privily informed Japan that we Americans truly did have a navy, Whereas, Russia did not? With the rapid economic rise of Russia today, one would not have known it,
California's Ishi according to Kroeber historically ties the tiny island of Nippon to the Americas. However, the least historically chronologued topographical fact concerning the Bay Area is its geographical erosion. It can be readily seen in South San Francisco and its environs, where the lack of trees for more than a century in some areas in the present has been taking its toll.
Compounded by hydropowered goldmining, and its untimely affects on California's ecological time clock, the San Francisco Bay can not be helped, but to become forever filled by land. Gone are the city dumps I knew in San Mateo county. Up from those heaps sprang Foster City and an undisovered park just further north.
Redwood trees should connect from the Sequoias of the Bajas in the Sierras and the Redwoods of Alto California. After all, they are the same trees. If anyone ever took up the endeavor to count how many Redwoods were cut and sold in Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties then they would rapidly discover that far more were consumed by fire.
California's Sierra is in fact a historical corruption of Serra, the Franciscan priest who took it upon himself to set Kroeber's Superfamily quarely inside a plot for worldwide revolution. In fact, California plays a pivital role in both the up and downswing of World Wars I and II. Were we here in America called by Europe Indians?
How does a Native America bent Christian cross play in the downfall of Eastern Europe under Stalin? Whose historically displaced diplomats along with Hilter concocted a plan to liquidate 50,000 soviet officers to be replaced by 50,000 nazi officers, as lynchings in America fell to a mere trickle?
What offical studies have been done to record not just the rape off untold millions in California but to the land itself including the seemingly dying Bay Area?
