Alan Crosland, Old San Francisco (1927)
“ Thus Hernandez de Vasquez passed on to his fathers, and his proud name into history—— "In a flash that hideous Buckwell revealed himself—and in his soul he knew that I knew—he is a Mongolian!" "You have your enemy in your hands——his own people will avenge you!" ”
Alan Crosland, Old San Francisco (1927)
“ In the awful light of an outraged, wrathful, Christian God, the heathen soul of the Mongol stood revealed. When Chris Buckwell sought solace of his ancestral gods, he knew the eyes of Dolores had penetrated his disguise and guessed his secret—— "What cowardly sin now weighs on your craven heart, my brother?" ”

“ You command my ships, not my horses. Back to your vessel!" "Damn your ships! We're on our way to the gold fields!" "I order you to return to your duties at once!" "Your orders—and your Spanish glory—don't mean a thing now. Stand clear!" "My brother—you now are—head of the house—" "You have dared to shoot a Vasquez!" "A Vasquez avenges a Vasquez!" "You have done well, my son—for the greater glory of God." The Story San Francisco grew and prospered. ”
