1943

This little amount of "Early Days" has not a great deal of literary merit nor is it of particular interest to anyone coming to Vallejo during the past few years, but it is an accurate picture of the town itself in the 40s, 50s and also from information he derived from family, friends and members of the old Hook and Ladder Co. So since there are still in Vallejo some descendants of the original settlers they will, no doubt, derive some pleasure in reading of the social activities of their ancestors..

In fact, "native sons" are California's minority group in this day of expanding population - with 20,000 new residents crossing our state boundaries every month. Yet, it is surprising how many of our Vallejo and Solano County residents are direct descendants of the hardy pioneers who came to California - by overland trial or via the Isthmus of Panama, in 1849 or earlier.
