Could schools of the past teach us something?
/
Bowen, Jerry
[766]
[WAYITWAS-2007-766]
This is the last in a series on the early rules of grammar school education.

Towns vanished when railroad passed them by

Bowen, Jerry
[25]
[WAYITWAS-2000-25]
I have always been fascinated by old maps and the potential stories they reveal. Working at the Solano County Archives is especially intriguing because of its numerous old maps. Many of you already know something about the towns that will be described in a series of articles to follow, but for newcomers to Solano County or its history, it won't hurt to get acquainted with the communities that once served travelers and '49ers in the later 1800s. My thanks to James Davis for a suggestion about the town of Cement, which became the catalyst of this series of articles.

Traces of some early homes still survive

Bowen, Jerry

[WAYITWAS-2004-202]
Have you ever wondered where some of the earliest settlers lived in Solano County? Perhaps your own home is located right on top of, or near, the site one of our historical figures once called home and you don't even know it.
