Early 20th century?

Question

Can anyone describe the Era of the very early 20th century (1905ish)
and the lifestyle ect of that time period? It would be much appreciated. Thanks!

BTW I need the San Francisco area during the early 20th century.

Answer 1

You would have to be more specific. Even within one country the lifestyle, mores, etc. can be very different. For example my mother grew up in western South Dakota in the 1930's and 40's. Her father was a wealthy rancher yet they did not have indoor plumbing, electricity, or telephone! It just wasn't available! Yet when her father immigrated to this country at the time you specify New York City had all of those things even for working class folks!

Answer 2

do you already know that John Dickson Carr additionally wrote somewhat some books under the call of Carter Dickson. The Albert Campion novels via Margery Allingham are very sturdy although some are slightly stunning. Edmund Crispin - his detective Gervase Fen an eccentric Oxford professor. those books too are particularly whacky. i could additionally advise Josephine Tey.

Answer 3

I don't think San Francisco would be much different from St. Louis, Missouri in 1904.

If you can find and watch the Judy Garland film "Meet Me in St. Louis", you can feel completely immersed in that year and era. It was made soon enough after it that they would be working from people's memories, instead of books and newspapers, so it is fairly authentic.

That's a very general question. This wikipedia article might help you.
