Who was "Shanghai" Kelly and when did he live and die?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : San Francisco History : One Thread

I am looking for basic information about "Shanghai" Kelly, notably:

- His real name - When he came to San Francisco - When and where he was born - When and where he died.

Can anybody help me with this?

Thanks!

Contact the San Francisco Maritime Museum, the is a book there by Bill Pickelhaupt that discusses Shanghai Kelly. It may provide what you need. The book is still in print or you may find at other libraries. But if you call the SFMM Library they may look it up for you. (415) 556-9871, 2 or 3.
