San Francisco's Presidio by Robert W. Bowen

I have always been entranced with The Presido (and surrounding areas). A really good book that goes into the history of the area and mainly the military's role on this land. Some neat photos. I recall buying this at The Presidio bookstore at the old Officer's Club as a memento of the visit to the site.
