Reflections on the Life of Captain William Goodwin Dana
We are thrilled to cap off our 2021 Carnegie Lecture Series with Joe Dana, great-grandson and the definitive biographer of William Goodwin Dana, one of the most famous rancheros of early California.
Joe will tell the story of how William Goodwin Dana and his extensive web of descendants have had such a major impact on San Luis Obispo County, especially in Nipomo and the South County. |
Every quarter, on the first Friday of the month in which the season changes, we host our Carnegie Lecture. Please keep an eye on this space to learn what the next topic will be. If you want to watch one of our previous lectures, please select one below.
