MARCH 28, 2-3 PM: Author Sandra Bonura

On Friday, March 28, from 2-3 PM, in the Winer Family Community Room & Art Gallery, don’t miss author Sandra Bonura discussing her book, Empire Builder.

Empire Builder is the story of a pioneer who almost single-handedly transformed the bankrupt village of San Diego into a thriving city. John D. Spreckels arrived in San Diego in 1887 and within a few short years he owned and controlled the majority of the local industry. Spreckels built empires in sugar, shipping and transportation and contributed to numerous educational, charitable, and cultural institutions around San Diego. Sandra Bonura provides a behind-the-scenes look at Spreckels and his family’s role in shaping San Diego.
