Sunbelt Offers Free Copy of Louis Rose Biography to First 50 Who Request It

Sunbelt Publications Inc. published the first of the six books I have written so far.  It was the biography, Louis Rose: San Diego’s First Jewish Settler and Entrepreneur.  In the event that you haven’t heard of him, he was the man for whom Rose Canyon, Rose Creek, and the Roseville section of the Point Loma neighborhood were named.  The Robinson-Rose Building in Old Town San Diego State Historic Park is another reminder of his legacy.
