Event Details

THIS EVENT WILL BE HELD SATURDAY, JUNE 24, AT 2:30 PM.

Join us as we look at the pioneering legacy of John Diedrich Spreckels with historian Dr. Sandra Bonura, author of the biography Empire Builder: John D. Spreckels and the Making of San Diego. Although harshly criticized for perceptions of ruthless business tactics, he was at the forefront of innovation and soon controlled the majority of San Diego's industry. Come learn about the man who almost single handedly built our city after building empires in sugar, shipping, transportation, and construction up and down California and across the Pacific.

All San Diego Oasis programs arranged by the San Diego Public Library are free to participants.
