California Legacy Day
A day-long event at Santa Clara University, sponsored by the University and the California Historical Society.
November 11, 2000
Daytime panels were devoted to California Legacy titles Unfinished Message and Unfolding Beauty. A dinner featured a speech by James Houston, and was attended by Charles Faulhaber (head of the Bancroft Library), Michael Duty (head of the California Historical Society), James Quay (head of the California Council for the Humanities), David Kipen (Book Review editor for the San Francisco Chronicle), as well as other writers, scholars, and associates of Santa Clara University.
The evening program, held in Fess Parker Auditorium, was devoted to a panel discussion that compared the gold rush of 1849 with the Silicon Valley "gold rush" of the last decades. Scholars James Holliday and Joanne Levy represented the original goldrush, Regis McKenna and Peter Hillan the more recent one.
The discussion was moderated by KQED radio host, Michael Krasny, and was partially funded and co-sponsored by the California Historical Society.
