State Capitol Speaker Event - This coming Sunday

Don’t miss it, Jack London in Benicia

“I now made the old town of Benicia, on the Carquinez Straits, my headquarters. In a cluster of fishermen’s arks, moored in the tules on the water-front, dwelt a congenial crowd of drinkers and vagabonds, and I joined them.” (from Jack London’s novel, John Barleycorn)

Join us on Sunday, January 31, 2016 at 2 PM at the Benicia State Capitol to hear more about this man who was the number one bestselling author of his day as well as an adventurer and a romantic. Not to mention a former Benician.
