At the turn of the twentieth century, a 1901 decree ordered the exhumation and relocation of over 150,000 graves in San Francisco- the only major metropolitan city in America to order a complete eviction of its dead. City of the Dead uncovers this fascinating and forgotten section of American history.

It is the journey not the destination that composes your life song. In the early baby boomer era, when skirts were low and consensus was high, this traditionally raised youngster travels through his childhood and coming-of-age testing the borders of a rigid status quo, from race relations to sexual relations...adventures that illuminate a nostalgic but controversial time. Later, Terry leaves graduate school to follow counterculture sirens on a wanderlust sabbatical including odysseys as a political activist, half-hearted hippie, drug-smuggler, new age dilettante, and stand-up comic...eventually finding his way back to the mainstream as an antiques dealer. In his memoirs, told from a wry and offbeat perspective, take a trip to places familiar and strange, conventional and improbable, as you revisit some of the memorable cultural events of the era. Even if you took a different path or come from another generation, you should see a lot of yourself here. The book comes with a baby boomer crossword puzzle--see the final page for download instructions.
