After the 1906 San Francisco earthquake , Zeigler wrote '' The Story of the Earthquake and Fire : San Francisco '' ( 1906 ) , a first-hand account of the disaster . Zeigler expresses the view that the city will re-emerge in better shape after the disaster , because new public spaces can now be planned and created . The book was republished in 2010 . It contains a large number of photographs of San Francisco after the earthquake and some before-and-after comparison images
