DESCRIPTION:Take It From the Workers Who Built Everything\nBook readings by Bob 
 Mattacola and Harvey Schwartz\nGeorge W. Farris Diaries: A Daily Diary of a 
 Union Carpenter in San Francisco January 1902-1910 \nand\nBuilding the 
 Golden Gate Bridge: A Workers’ Oral History, compiled by Harvey 
 Schwartz\n\n The catastrophic San Francisco 1906 earthquake brought tens of 
 thousands of unionized building trades workers to San Francisco to rebuild 
 the city. These critically needed workers rebuilt the city in an amazing 
 three years.\n\n The most important and historically significant 
 documentary account of the rebuilding of San Francisco was by union 
 carpenter George W. Farris. This is the only daily diary of life in San 
 Francisco after the traumatic and historic earthquake event. United 
 Brotherhood of Carpenters Local 22, with member Bob Mattacola, who learned 
 about the diary, have now turned this story into a book called George W. 
 Farris Diaries: A Daily Diary of a Union Carpenter in San Francisco January 
 1902-1910.\n Bob Mattacola will read from this diary and take 
 questions.\n\nAlso joining the book reading will be labor historian and 
 writer Harvey Schwartz, who will read from his book on the workers who 
 built the Golden Gate Bridge. The book, Building the Golden Gate Bridge: A 
 Workers’ Oral History, is the story of workers who built one of the most 
 famous icons in the world. Their stories, brought together by Schwartz, 
 allow ironworkers, electricians, elevator constructors, laborers and others 
 to describe their sometimes harrowing and even tragic experiences in their 
 own words. Both books were produced by union printers and will be available 
 at the event, which is co-sponsored by the San Francisco Labor Council and 
 Carpenters Local 22.
