Playlist in Progress
In progress and ongoing work to tell the 1872 true story of a San Francisco tailor, Nicholas Carr, his wife Anne Boucher and their indentured daughter, Lizzie Haley.
Well documented in newspaper stories of the time, there is mayhem, murder(s) and an inevitable tragic ending. Just one of the many stories in the the wild and wooly Barbary Coast city of San Francisco.
I happened to move next door to the home almost 100 years after it transpired back in the 19th century.
