/
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.

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.

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.

/
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?

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.

John Currey and the Vaca-Pena Land Grant Cases
/
Bowen, Jerry
[11]
[WAYITWAS-2000-11]
All Mexican land grants in California were poorly defined - a tree, a mountain bluff, lagoon, river, or ravine served as boundaries and frequently these specified more land than was intended to be granted. No accurate surveys were made and the only legal restrictions falling within these vague limits were that excess land would revert to the public domain. Many problems were caused by the vague descriptions after California became a territory and later a state..

Pioneer McMahan experienced risky times
/
Bowen, Jerry
[9]
[WAYITWAS-2000-9]
Much has been written about the wagon trains and the thousands who fell under the spell of the Gold Rush. But there were those that paved the way, so to speak, for the '49ers. One of the more notable early wagon trains was that of the Bidwell-Bartleson party. It can be said their journey marked the beginning of the settlement of the far West.

Bowen, Jerry
[7]
[WAYITWAS-2000-7]
Before there was a Vacaville, there had to be people. In some of my articles I will introduce you to a few of the people that were a part of its beginnings, how they got here and events that were a part of Solano County and Vacaville's history.

Infamous Vallejos played big role in 1846 rebellion
/
Bowen, Jerry
[5]
[WAYITWAS-2000-5]
Monuments have been built to them and writers have both praised and denounced their actions. They have been variously described as rebels, heroes, traitors and patriots. Some historians and writers might be said to be biased depending on your point of view, and so it is even today.
