6784.	Twists and turns on the trail of bygone days / Bowen, Jerry [721] [WAYITWAS-2007-721] History is a dynamic subject with many traps regarding accuracy along the way. A lot of items related to history in Solano County have popped up lately, so, I thought that I would take the opportunity to talk about some of those bits and pieces.

6785.	Population takes off with a new air base / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [719] [WAYITWAS-2007-719] Well into the 20th century, Vacaville, Fairfield, and Suisun remained small communities with slow-growing populations. By 1940, Fairfield had 1,312 residents. That growth pattern changed suddenly when construction of the Fairfield-Suisun Army Airfield began in 1942. Hundreds of workers flooded into the community to construct the new base - and every one of them needed a place to stay. Detailed record - Similar records
6786.	Ship with cargo of sugar meets bitter end / Bowen, Jerry [718] [WAYITWAS-2007-718] I've done a couple of stories in the past on Matthew Turner, but for some of the new arrivals in Solano County he probably is unknown even though he built more sailing ships than any other man in America.

6787.	Patriotism skyrocketed in Vacaville July 4th, 1898 / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [714] [WAYITWAS-2007-714] This week, our communities will celebrate July 4th with a variety of parades, picnics and firework events. Similar celebrations took place more than a century ago, too, bringing residents together in large numbers. One of the more elaborate July 4 celebrations in Vacaville was held in 1898.

6788.	Captain steered profitable course / Bowen, Jerry [713] [WAYITWAS-2007-713] The city of San Francisco frequently has been associated with disasters and abnormal behavior - in my opinion, anyway. And so it was with a ship named San Francisco. Detailed record - Similar records
6789.	Area turned to eucalyptus tree / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [712] [WAYITWAS-2007-712] My last two columns explored how eucalyptus came to California around 1853, with Fairfield founder Captain Robert Waterman seemingly among the first pioneers to import seeds. Detailed record - Similar records
6790.	Early depot town faded away / Bowen, Jerry [711] [WAYITWAS-2007-711] My interest in Solano County history began in the 1990s after I retired from Mare Island Naval Shipyard, and it grew by leaps and bounds when I met who I consider one of Vacaville's finest men ever to grace this community, Bert Hughes, at the Vacaville Heritage Council.

6791.	Aussie tree changed Solano's landscape / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [710] [WAYITWAS-2007-710] With the introduction of eucalyptus trees from Australia around 1853, California's landscape began to change rapidly. Nurseryman Ellwood Cooper was one of the first to seriously experiment with eucalyptus. He envisioned large belts of tree plantings to serve as windbreakers across California.

6792.	Album spurs school memories / Bowen, Jerry [709] [WAYITWAS-2007-709] A few weeks a go I received an e-mail from Arden Lites who lives in Sebastopol. She told me that her mother, Doris Mann, had found an album of photos in her attic with the name, "Floy P. Weeks, Green Valley School, 1915-1956," engraved on the front cover.

6793.	Trees sparse before eucalyptus arrived / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [708] [WAYITWAS-2007-708] The California landscape that greeted the first missionaries and later the people lured west in the Gold Rush was very different from the one we are familiar with today. Detailed record - Similar records
