: If you had a choice of any souvenir from San Francisco from any past time period, what would it be?

I'd go back and find out what really happened to Joaquine Murietta - and bring back the real story of the man behind the myth.

From everything I've read about him, I think he was not beheaded - or even killed. I think he and his wife Rosa escaped and went back to Sonora in Mexico where they came from.
