Autorenporträt
Author Cynthia Vrilakas Simons has selected the best images from the San Leandro Historical Photograph and Document Collection and other sources to reveal the many layers of San Leandro's past. Now retired, the author spent several years as the San Leandro local history librarian, and planned and wrote the exhibits for the new San Leandro Museum and the History Walk. Using the knowledge gained in her local history work, Simons leads the reader through San Leandro from the time when the Ohlone Indians lived in a world with grizzlies, vast flocks of birds, and herds of antelope and deer, to the 21st-century world of suburban homes, freeways, and changing technologies.
