Port Chicago: The Rest of the Story
CCCHS Author in the Archives Series presents
Dean McLeod, author, historian, professional genealogist and former resident of Contra Costa County returns to Martinez this July to share "the rest of the story" of Port Chicago.
Through Dean's extensive research and oral interviews of people from Port Chicago, he weaves a much more detailed account of the small town and discovers there are many more unanswered questions of the "who, how and why" that will fascinate Naval historians, World War II enthusiasts and local Contra Costa County residents alike.
Expect a walk through time in the forgotten town on Suisun Bay and some unexpected discussion, including theories of secrets, spies and bombs.
Doors open at 4:00 p.m. Dean’s talk begins at 4:30 p.m. Book signing to follow immediately.
** Some of Dean’s research papers and historic documents as well as photographs and original newspapers from the time will be on display for viewing before and after his talk **
Admission is $10 for CCCHS members, $20 for non-members.
RSVP is requested. www.cocohistory.org, call (925) 229-1042 or email [email protected]
All proceeds benefit the preservation work of the Contra Costa County Historical Society.
