399.	Disaster strikes the Sophie McLane at Suisun / Bowen, Jerry [21] [WAYITWAS-2000-21] Californians always have done things in a big way, but doing things in a big way does not always mean using good sense along with it. Detailed record - Similar records
400.	Town not untouched by war / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [20] [WAYITWAS-2000-20] Vacaville residents during the 1850s and 1860s largely were supporters of the Democratic Party. With their strong agricultural background, voters found the Democratic platform more to their liking than the business-oriented one of the Republican Party. Hand in hand with this party affiliation went a sympathetic leaning toward supporting the South during the Civil War years. Thus the turmoil of those years also touched Vacaville.

401.	Where is the 'real' Vacaville? / Bowen, Jerry [19] [WAYITWAS-2000-19] In my last column, I stated that it was unknown which blocks of lots in the town of Vacaville were allotted to Vaca and Pena. Well, dagnabbit, that's not quite true. It's just that nobody seems to have written about it that I know of. Detailed record - Similar records
402.	Pioneer Swift persevered despite the odds / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [18] [WAYITWAS-2000-18] Early pioneers often were adventure-seeking men with the ability to adapt to changing situations and seize any opportunity that offered itself. One day rich, the next day poor again - nothing seems to have stopped their intrepid spirits. Detailed record - Similar records
403.	Gold Rushed Vacaville's Beginning / Bowen, Jerry [17] [WAYITWAS-2000-17] Gold has been described in a host of fanciful terms. It has been said to be the folly of man, the savior of civilization, a barbarous relic, the root of all evil and the symbol of perfection. Detailed record - Similar records
404.	Cherries played vital role in orchards / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [16] [WAYITWAS-2000-16] Cherries once were one of the important crops in the Vacaville and Suisun area. While apricots, peaches and pears were secure crops that could be dried and stored, cherries were - and still are - a highly speculative crop, as late spring rains easily can ruin a whole harvest.

405.	Vacaville's Shaky Beginning / Bowen, Jerry [15] [WAYITWAS-2000-15] For all you history buffs in the area it is a well-known fact that on Aug. 21, 1850, Juan Manuel Vaca sold nine square miles of land for $3,000 to William McDaniel, with the provision that one square mile be designated as the new town of Vacaville. In addition, McDaniel was to deed back to Vaca 1,055 lots in the new town. Right? Detailed record - Similar records
406.	Trial and error determined success of orchards / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [14] [WAYITWAS-2000-14] Orchards have been a part of Solano County's landscape for more than 150 years. Beginning with the first pioneers, settlers brought in plants, exchanged seeds and cuttings with friends and neighbors, experimented with different varieties to see how these adapted to the soil and climate, or even tried to create new strains and varieties.

407.	Land squatters: Solano County's violent years / Bowen, Jerry [13] [WAYITWAS-2000-13] Beginning in 1847, the next few years in California were filled with great change and at times were hostile and violent, sometimes to the extreme. War with Mexico, the discovery of gold, the mass influx of emigrants, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, a constantly moving state capital and disputes over Mexican land grants often resulted in tragic events. Detailed record - Similar records
408.	Produce crops proved profitable for Solanoans / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [12] [WAYITWAS-2000-12] Once the early pioneer settlers had cleared their land and built their homes, the search for marketable produce began. During the first years, this included hunting for wild game and harvesting the abundant grasses for hay. Both commodities could be sold profitably to the markets in San Francisco and Sacramento.
