Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A Black man arrived in California in 1841 at the helm of a ship carrying ambition and a secret. He was William Alexander Leidesdorff. Within a few years he had become an American diplomat and civic leader who helped establish San Francisco on a patch of windswept sand dunes at the world's edge. He built a fortune - among the largest in California. When he died in 1848, he left behind a fiercely contested estate. The battle to claim the man himself has been going on ever since.Born in the Danish Caribbean to a Danish father and an Afro-Caribbean mother, Leidesdorff built a ledger of achievements so vast it obscured his origins. In the nearly two centuries since his death, that ledger has become a mirror - a surface onto which competing legends are projected, each reflecting less a weighing of the record than the ideological weather of the moment that produced it.The Ledger and the Mirror is a meticulously researched biography - and a critical examination of how each generation has reinvented Leidesdorff to serve its own needs. Drawing on archives spanning California, Denmark, and the Gulf Coast, Eric Friedman reconstructs who Leidesdorff actually was, then turns to examine what successive generations made of him. Strip those legends away and what remains is a man remarkable enough to inspire such longing - and a story that reveals how history itself is made,distorted, and remembered.PRAISE FOR THE LEDGER AND THE MIRRORThe Ledger and the Mirror is a well-researched biography of William Leidesdorff, one of Yerba Buena and young San Francisco's leading, and most enigmatic, citizens. It clears up a number of myths about this mixed-race pioneer.-GARY KAMIYA, author of Cool Gray City of Love: 49 Views of San Francisco and Spirits of San Francisco: Voyages Through the Unknown CityEmbodying in his own European, African, Jewish, and Caribbean ancestry the cosmopolitan populace of Mexican Yerba Buena before it leapt onto the world's attention as San Francisco, William Leidesdorff emerges as a vivid character in Eric Friedman's The Ledger and the Mirror. Based on extensive research into his subject's records and those who knew him, Friedman re-creates an almost mythical California just prior to the discovery of gold whose riches narrowly eluded one extraordinary man at an epochal hinge of world history.-GRAY BRECHIN, author of Imperial San Francisco: Urban Power, Earthly RuinThe history of a city is never straightforward, especially in a place as tumultuous as San Francisco, and that's what makes Eric Friedman's biography of William Leidesdorff so fascinating. In telling the story of a civic leader forced by society to hide his Black identity, Friedman captures the ever-shifting tensions of 1840s San Francisco and tells the tale with refreshingly urgent twenty-first-century prose.-JOHN KING, author of Portal and Cityscapes.…
