It's been a fun ride, but I'm ready to explore the West
/
Bowen, Jerry
[868]
[WAYITWAS-2008-868]
When I started writing Solano County history articles for The Reporter, I couldn't help wondering if there was enough history to write about different subjects for any amount of time. I must admit that while I was the editor and writer for the United Prospectors Inc. publications, there was plenty of fodder about the gold country but I wasn't sure about Solano County.

Bowen, Jerry
[17]
[WAYITWAS-2000-17]

/
Rico, John
[877]
[RICO-1981-877]
Go West, Young Man, and Grow Up With the Country - This bit of timely advice is credited to journalist Horace Greeley, but research actually attributes the saying to John Souls about 1851. Greeley used the quote in an article he wrote for the New York Tribune.

A tale of gold buried at Rancho Solano
/
Bowen, Jerry
[144]
[WAYITWAS-2002-144]
As early as 1835, Jose Francisco Armijo was believed to have visited the Suisun Valley area. It must have made a favorable impression on him, because he applied for and received a land grant in 1839 from Mariano Vallejo. It consisted of about 13,000 acres of Suisun Valley, extending from Suisun Marsh to Manka's Corners and in March 1840, Gov. Alverado granted final approval.
