/
Delaplane, Kristin
[233]
[ECHOS-1995-233]
Information for this article came from the Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum and Vacaville Heritage Council - First of two parts. During the age of the American Indians, the region around Vallejo was known for its wild cattle and horses that fed on the area's high oats. No evidence has ever turned up to show that there were Indian settlements there, but it does appear tribes came from Suisun Valley and other locations to dig for shellfish and hunt the cattle and other game.

Walnut orchards part of Solano since 1930s
/
Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[815]
[WAYITWAS-2008-815]

These half shells eventually would be used to fashion little boats, baskets, figurines and other crafts.
