Yerba Buena
de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception
On
this day in 1846, the United States raised the American flag in the
central plaza of San Francisco, claiming U.S. settlement. In honor of
America's taking of the city previously named Yerba Buena, here is a
view north from atop the Golden Gate Bridge in 1955: http://ti.me/12gCktu
