Dingler, Nancy
[488]
[RETROSPECT-2004-488]
The gold rush of 1849 created a massive migration. People from all walks of life and from around the world made their way to the rich gold fields of California.

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.

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.

[WAYITWAS-2007-727]
