Uneasy Spirits: A Victorian San Francisco Mystery - Plot & Excerpts
C. Ainsworth, President of the Oregon Steam Navigation Company and the Managing Director of the Northern Pacific Railroad…arrived in San Francisco and was interviewed by a reporter of the Chronicle, at his rooms at the Baldwin.”—San Francisco Chronicle, 1879 As Nate walked down the short flight of steps into the entrance of the Elite, a restaurant that lived up to its name with dark wood paneling, crisp white table linen, and French cuisine, he realized he didn’t have any idea what Anthony Pierce looked like. He may have run across him a few times when he stopped by the old Chronicle offices to see his friend Tim Newsome, and he’d certainly read a number of his articles. Pierce was known for his biting political satire, but Nate had never been introduced to him. He was surprised Pierce had named the Elite as their meeting place, since its prices were pretty steep, and from Tim’s frequent complaints he’d understood that reporters made even less money than junior law partners.
