Re: SF Earthquake, 1906 -- A number of historians believe the actual total was much higher, well over 10,000 - and surpressed to avoid hurting the investment in California.

That sounds interesting. I lived in the Bay Area for about 12 years and never heard a word about this. Do you happen to recall the historians making this claim?

Here's a couple references to the '06 quake:

vibrationdata.com
greenspun.com

500 people officially listed as dead in the City only as a result of the earthquake and fire according to this unofficial source...

And up to 3,000 dead from all causes in all locations according to this official website:
sfmuseum.org

Interestingly, the SF Musuem website mentions a graft investigation.....

Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose

The more things change, the more they remain the same....
