Book excerpt: A lifelong native of San Francisco, Robert "Bob" (Bud) Bowcock was born on October 12, 1917. He attended Jefferson Grammar School, Poly High School and graduated with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Animal Husbandry from the University of California at Davis in 1939. Growing up the son of a European butcher, he got his start in the butcher business watching and working with his Dad in the family business. He later cut his teeth in the trade while working in the beef cutting rooms of the famed H. Moffat & Company from 1939-41 in San Francisco's Butchertown before joining the Army Air Corps in 1941, serving as a navigator on the B17 Flying Fortress over Europe during WWII. After the war, he returned to San Francisco to help out his father and brother in the butcher business before starting and running his own butcher shop and deli, Bowcocks Market, on Irving Street for nearly four decades before retiring in 1977. Butchertown : A Collage of A San Francisco Institution during 1850 - 1969 is a brief historical essay of the inner workings of a slaughterhouse describing the often unknown processes of animal slaughter and meat packing from the birth of an animal to the final, various byproducts produced during this process. Through a series of personal remembrances and anecdotal interviews, it is also a collection of the authors reminiscences of the butcher trade during the heyday of slaughterhouses at what was formerly known to San Francisco old-timers as 3rd & Evans Streets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do America’s cities look the way they do? If we want to know the answer, we should start by looking at our relationship with animals. Americans once lived alongside animals. They raised them, worked them, ate them, and lived off their products. This was true not just in rural areas but also in cities, which were crowded with livestock and beasts of burden. But as urban areas grew in the nineteenth century, these relationships changed. Slaughterhouses, dairies, and hog ranches receded into suburbs and hinterlands. Milk and meat increasingly came from stores, while the family cow and pig gave way to the household pet. This great shift, Andrew Robichaud reveals, transformed people’s relationships with animals and nature and radically altered ideas about what it means to be human. As Animal City illustrates, these transformations in human and animal lives were not inevitable results of population growth but rather followed decades of social and political struggles. City officials sought to control urban animal populations and developed sweeping regulatory powers that ushered in new forms of urban life. Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals worked to enhance certain animals’ moral standing in law and culture, in turn inspiring new child welfare laws and spurring other wide-ranging reforms. The animal city is still with us today. The urban landscapes we inhabit are products of the transformations of the nineteenth century. From urban development to environmental inequality, our cities still bear the scars of the domestication of urban America.
