Eric J. Kos spoke on September 15 at 7:00 pm about Alameda: An Agricultural History. He put together a presentation for us about Alameda’s original settlers’ primary occupation: agriculture with intriguing photos, informative glimpses into our food-growing past, and an entertaining narrative.
Our speaker: Eric J. Kos, owner of the Alameda Sun newspaper for the past two decades, has collected a vast amount of historical Island City images and information to share with the public. Eric has written, helped publish or contributed to countless publishing efforts, most notably, San Francisco Then & Now and locally Bay Farm Island: A Hidden History of Alameda.
