MONTHLY PROGRAM

J. Harold Tuchfeld

Growth of the sugar cane industry in late 19th century Hawaii helped forge a strong commercial relationship with San Francisco. Harold Tuchfeld will explore with us the growth and decline of this special relationship and the colorful personalities involved, including Claus Spreckels, James Matson, and King Kalakaua of Hawaii.
