Golden Memories of a San Francisco Childhood
Robert Frost was born in San Francisco in 1874 and lived here until his early teens. His mother moved him to New England after the death of his father, a journalist and local politician. Frost often wrote of his youth in San Francisco, "Such was life in the Golden Gate: Gold dusted all we drank and ate. And I was one of the children told, we all must eat our peck of gold." Frost was awarded the Pulitzer Prize four times and received forty-three honorary degrees. A plaque at the corner of Drumm and Market marks the site of one of his family's homes.
