Four Singular Creatures Parade San Francisco History
An old California reminiscence recalls four queer figures who wandered early San Francisco. Two dogs named Humner and Lamth, fed on rich men's scraps, traveled with two men, Uncle Freddy Coombs and Emperor Norton, forming a curious pair that socialized with politicians and bankers. The dogs attended habitues at the What Cheer, Occidental, and Blue Wing, while the men gathered local fame, with a funeral accorded to the canine companion and public interest long remembered.
