I.N. Choynski, San Francisco: (1890).
The Jewish publisher, Isidor Nathan Choynski (1834-99), aside from owning a bookstore where the intellectual elite of San Francisco would gather, was also a pioneer journalist whose written accounts in Isaac Mayer Wise’s national Jewish newspaper The American Israelite are among the most insightful reports we have on the inner life of San Francisco and the West Coast Jewish communities.
