Golden Christmas memories of Sutter / Bowen, Jerry [51] [WAYITWAS-2000-51]
The following is a very condensed and edited version of an article from the San Francisco Examiner by John Bonner, in 1897. The surprise ending of the story causes one to wonder if John Sutter knew something more than he let on prior to James Marshall's historic discovery of gold at Coloma that started the gold rush to California - Editor.

Mare Island fostered many stories / Bowen, Jerry [187] [WAYITWAS-2003-187]

February Anniversaries / Wichels, Ernest [787] [WICHELS-1964-787]
Every day Is an anniversary of some person, some discovery or other event. These have varying degrees of importance.
