    • Insights from the authors' extensive study of the Vallejo lineage.
    • A deep dive into 180+ letters written between 1846 and 1888.
    • An intimate look at how Californios navigated the dramatic struggle for identity and survival.

    Presented in collaboration with the Benicia Public Library in the Doña Benicia Meeting Room. The authors will have books available for sale and signing after their presentation.
