[Philip L. Fradkin] devotes 50 pages to exploring the accusations of "plagiarism" that still cast a shadow over [Wallace Stegner]'s novel Angle of Repose. He finds its roots in Stegner's "search for a usable past." As Fradkin explains, "Stegner took the basic outline of the lives of Arthur and Mary Hallock Foote and bent it to fit his fictional needs."

SAN FRANCISCO - Most of the city's residents were still in bed when disaster struck 100 years ago - a magnitude-7.8 earthquake that leveled buildings and sparked fires.
A century later, tens of thousands of spectators were expected to join a handful of centenarians who survived the quake at a solemn wreath-laying ceremony today to mark the exact moment when the temblor struck.
