Presentation: The Life and Times of Dennis Martin

The San Mateo County History Museum will present author Bo Crane, who recently wrote the book The Life and Times of Dennis Martin. Martin arrived on the San Francisco Peninsula in 1844, while Mexico still possessed California. He helped initiate the lumber industry in the Redwood country and operated a shipping business in Redwood City. During the 1850s he lost it all because of legal and financial problems. Crane has written other books and is a frequent contributor to Cycle California Magazine. The program is free with the price of admission to the Museum ($6 for adults and $4 for seniors and students).
