On Thursday, May 16, at 6:30 p.m., at the Dublin Library (200 Civic Plaza), Dublin historian Steve Minniear will bring the past to life during a free presentation based on his recently released book, Alameda County Sheriff’s Office.
From its beginnings in the 1800s, when faced with challenges such as cattle rustling and the likes of outlaw Joaquin Murietta, to the antiwar demonstrations, kidnappings, and natural disasters of the 20th century, the Alameda County Sheriff's Office has always been ready to respond. Using archival photographs and documents, historian Steve Minniear will share historical information about the ACSO.
