But one thing was very noticeable, that they were all loyal Americans.

I think it may be truly said that the spirit of patriotism is even stronger in the Pacific States than at the East.
You could see the Flag of the Union everywhere, and there was abundant evidence in the life and speech of the people of San Francisco and of California generally that they were an integral part of the Republic and as anxious to have it prosperous and great and united as the most ardent American in any other part of the land.
The cosmopolitan character of San Francisco is further indicated by the names of foreign countries and places which some of her streets bear.

Here we note in our walks the names of Denmark and Japan, Honduras and Montenegro, Trinidad, Venezuela and Valencia, and also the Spanish town De Haro.

Certain names also of cities tell us whence people have come to the City of the Golden Gate.

We find an Albany, an Austin, and a Chattanooga street.
