Lillie Introduces herself
<p>Hello My brave volunteers,</p> <p>I have spent many days following your exploits, sharing in your adventures as you battle fires and save lives in our great city.</p> <p>It has been brought to my attention that while I know much about each and everyone of you, many of you know very little about me. So I have decided to sit down and record my own adventures for your enjoyment.</p> <p>First allow me to formally introduce myself as some of you may not have actually met me yet.</p> <p>I am Lilly Hitchcock Coit, daughter of Doctor Charles Hitchcock of San Francisco by way of New York.</p> <p>I spent the first eight years of my life in New York, where things seemed so much simpler. Following the war with Mexico my father brought my mother and I out to San Francisco.</p> <p>And as many of you Know San Francisco is where I fell in love. From the moment I set foot on the shores of our lovely city I loved everything about her.</p> <p>I was 15 when I saw the first of you saving lives and putting out fires. I saw the team struggling to get up Telegraph Hill and worried they wouldn’t make it I knew it was my duty to help. I knew it was also the duty of everyone watching to help as well, so I of course convinced them.</p> <p>From that moment on I wanted nothing more than to race to the scene of every fire. I was always so taken by the red shirt and fancy helmet. I loved the helmet so much that I was given one, when I was made an honorary member of the Knickerbocker company. That will always be the proudest day of my life.</p> <p>Victorian society did not seem to like my adventures with my volunteers, but I could not see the trouble.</p> <p>I have not spent all of my time chasing down fires and supporting my volunteers, however. I have had many other adventures as well.</p> <p>I have traveled all over Europe, and as far as Queen Victoria’s India, to be a beloved guest of the Maharajah. I learned to dance at the famous school of ballet in Paris.</p> <p>I have even had many adventures in our own San Francisco, like learning to hunt, or drive a carriage. I have gambled with my husbands friends, and dared to drink and smoke with them as companionship would allow.</p> <p>Oh I have had so many adventures and so many of them I wish to tell you about. So these letters will serve as a glimpse into my life so that you may feel as bonded to me as I do to you.</p> <p>Many of my stories also include some of the wonderful people I have met in my travels, some of whom you may not have heard of. I intend to share their exploits with you as well.</p>
