SUMMARY:Author Sandra Bonura Discusses Her Newest Book on the Spreckels Family
DESCRIPTION:After immigrating to America and becoming involved in the development of America’s sugar industry\, Claus Spreckels became one of the richest Americans in history. He triumphed in an era rife with cronyism and corruption and ultimately transformed California’s agriculture\, industry and transportation. But there’s always a cost for single-minded determination; the legendary family quarrels even included a murder charge. \nLocal author Sandra Bonura gives us a rags to riches story of this colorful and controversial immigrant who started the legacy known in Coronado\, San Diego\, and beyond. Join Sandra Bonura on Friday\, August 30 at 1pm in the Winn Room as she discusses her newest book and all that went into writing this biography. \nAbout the Book \nClaus Spreckels (1828–1908) emigrated from his homeland of Germany to the United States with only seventy-five cents in his pocket\, built a sugar empire\, and became one of the richest Americans in history alongside John D. Rockefeller\, Warren Buffett\, and Bill Gates. Migrating to San Francisco after the gold rush\, Spreckels built the largest sugar beet factory of its kind in the United States. His sugar beet production in the Salinas Valley changed the focus of valley agriculture from dry to irrigated crops\, resulting in the vast modern agricultural-industrial economy in today’s “Salad Bowl of the World.” When Spreckels gave America its first sugar cube\, he became the “Sugar King.” \nThe indomitable Spreckels was a colorful and complicated character on both sides of the Pacific. A kingpin in the development of the Hawai‘i-California sugarcane industry\, he wielded a clenched fist over Hawai‘i’s economy for nearly two decades after occupying a position of unrivaled power and political influence with the Hawaiian monarchy\, while also advancing major technology developments on the islands. The Sugar King’s legacy continued as the Spreckels family developed large portions of California\, building and breaking monopolies in agriculture\, shipping\, railroading\, finance\, real estate\, horse breeding\, utilities\, streetcars\, and water infrastructure\, and building entire towns and cities from infrastructure to superstructure. \nIn The Sugar King of California Sandra E. Bonura tells the rags-to-riches story of Spreckels’s role in the developments of the sugarcane industry in the American West and across the Pacific\, triumphing in a milieu rife with cronyism and corruption and ultimately transforming California’s industry and labor. Harshly criticized by his enemies for ruthless business tactics but loved by his employees\, he was unapologetic in his quest for wealth\, asserting “Spreckels’s success is California’s success.” But there’s always a cost for single-minded determination; the legendary family quarrels even included a murder charge. Spreckels’s biography is one of business triumph and tragedy\, a portrait of a family torn apart by money\, jealousy\, and ego. \nAbout the Author \nHistorian Dr. Sandra Bonura is a retired professor who is busy on her 2nd career resurrecting the forgotten stories of overlooked historical figures. She is a frequent storyteller and lecturer on the importance of using a multitude of primary sources to gain perspective on major historical events. Sandee is an award winning author of eight published works based on found archival treasures. \nRELATED \n“The Sugar King of California” Gives Deeper Insight Into the Spreckels Family
