Tramps of San Francisco was launched in May 2012 to share my passion for the history of San Francisco and surrounding communities. I’m Evelyn Rose, CTO (Chief Tramping Officer), a resident of Glen Park and local history buff who, in a single lifetime, will never discover everything there is to know about San Francisco’s past but is willing to sally forth and try! Scroll down to the bottom of this page to see my listing of articles on Tramps of San Francisco so far.
My focus is not our common and remembered history. The mission of Tramps of San Francisco is to reveal those stories and events that may have helped build and shape our City but, for any number of reasons, became lost with the passage of time. I’ve always had an interest in history, but it wasn’t until I began volunteering as a docent for the National Park Service, discovering local artifacts at estate sales, and exploring the history of the western United States that my real appreciation for local history came to the fore. Here’s a brief summary of my background and some of my publications and postings related to our local history:

/ October 22, 2013Ms. Rose:
WBTC’s tweet about Wednesday’s Glen Park Library event cause me to call the librarian and find you. I had seen your excellent Giant Powder piece before, on FoundSF, and might be able to run over on Wednesday.
I’m a local historian in Hercules and co-author of the Arcadia book on Hercules, which is the first really comprehensive account of the history of the explosives industry here. There is more work to be done to bring the important story of California’s first tech industry — dynamite — to the attention of a broader audience in the Bay Area. At some point, I would like to meet you to see if there’s mutual interest in plowing more ground in Glen Canyon, Santa Cruz, Pinole, Emeryville and Hercules.

/ November 9, 2013Hi, Steve! Thank you very much for your note and your kind comments! My apologies for the delayed response. I hope you were able to attend either Part I or II of my History of Glen Canyon presentations at the library over the past couple of weeks. As this is my hobby during limited free time and the paying job takes priority, at some point, yes, I would be interested in sharing notes about Giant’s various locations. Please feel free to contact me at trampsofsanfrancisco@gmail.com. Best regards – – Evelyn
