21.	Suisun's early years ripe with growth, drama / Bowen, Jerry [822] [WAYITWAS-2008-822] In my last column, Suisun was incorporated and officers were elected in 1868. By 1879, nearly 10 years had elapsed before the railroad traversed the tule marsh on the direct route to Benicia. Ballast hauled onto the soft peat ground sank from sight time after time, although hundreds of trainloads were deposited. The sink would appear to be filled and work on the track started again, when suddenly the surface would give way, and the tracks would disappear. Detailed record - Similar records
22.	Recounting women's roles in early California / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [821] [WAYITWAS-2008-821] Women played an important role in early Californian history. In 1900, California celebrated its first 50 years of statehood. The San Francisco Chronicle interviewed several prominent pioneer women and published their oral histories in an article on Sept. 9, 1900. Detailed record - Similar records
23.	Cityhood of Suisun petitioned / Bowen, Jerry [820] [WAYITWAS-2008-820] In my last column I talked about nearby Cordelia receiving a post office in 1865 because it was on the stage route from Benicia to Sacramento and Suisun received its mail from that source until receiving its own post office in 1887.

24.	Cattle boom of 1850s short-lived in Solano / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [819] [WAYITWAS-2008-819] In my last column, Luzena Stanley Wilson described her experiences of riding across the hills of Solano County around 1851 to visit her Wolfskill neighbors at Putah Creek and encountering the vast herds of grazing black Spanish steers.

25.	Bog was barrier between two cities / Bowen, Jerry [818] [WAYITWAS-2008-818] I left off in my last column noting that when Fairfield became the County Seat in 1858, Fairfield was still struggling to become the more prominent city, even though it had the increased influence of being the county seat. Suisun was already an important shipping port and business community, and many of the officials made their home in Suisun rather than Fairfield. Detailed record - Similar records
26.	A mid 1830s ride could be just plain dangerous / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [817] [WAYITWAS-2008-817] First Spanish missionaries and later Spanish landowners such as the Vaca, Pena and Armijo families acquired vast acreage of Northern California land to raise cattle, namely black steers.

27.	Bitter Miners Find Golden Harvests in Suisun / Bowen, Jerry [816] [WAYITWAS-2008-816] In 1849 the California gold rush was in full swing with people from all over the world headed to the land that was sure to make them rich. But not all were so inclined when they saw the fertile valleys of the Suisun. Others, not finding the riches they felt they so richly deserved for their arduous labor remembered the lushness of the valleys of Suisun they passed through on their way to the mines.

28.	Walnut orchards part of Solano since 1930s / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [815] [WAYITWAS-2008-815] One of my fond memories of growing up in Germany includes spending dark winter nights with my family, reading to each other while sharing a special treat - a bowl of California walnuts. My brother and I would try to shell the nuts so that the two halves of the shells remained undamaged. These half shells eventually would be used to fashion little boats, baskets, figurines and other crafts. Detailed record - Similar records
29.	Waters muddied early location of state capital / Bowen, Jerry [803] [WAYITWAS-2008-803] In my last column we took a look at the events leading up to the establishment of the California State Capital at Vallejo. Congress finally passed a bill to admit California to the Union and it was signed by President Fillmore on Sept. 9, 1850. Detailed record - Similar records
30.	Flood of 1849 forced residents to rooftops / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [795] [WAYITWAS-2007-795] This winter has not yet brought much cold or rainy weather, so that my holiday letter to shivering friends in Germany includes photos of roses in bloom. Yet this weather can change quickly, turning into heavy winter rains, such as Luzena Stanley Wilson and her family experienced in 1849 in Sacramento. Detailed record - Similar records
