Mystery of the healing waters in Tolenas
/
Dingler, Nancy
[458]
[RETROSPECT-2000-458]
Two centuries ago, in the 1800s, it became all the rage to "take the cure" in natural waters alive with sulfur and other curative minerals. Throughout Europe and America, the wealthy would flock to sumptuous resorts to be slathered in mud or to soak in hot waters that would soothe the body's ills from indigestion to arthritis. Such a popular remedy did not remain solely the indulgence of the idle rich.

/
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.

John Currey and the Vaca-Pena Land Grant Cases
/
Bowen, Jerry
[11]
[WAYITWAS-2000-11]
All Mexican land grants in California were poorly defined - a tree, a mountain bluff, lagoon, river, or ravine served as boundaries and frequently these specified more land than was intended to be granted.

Many problems were caused by the vague descriptions after California became a territory and later a state..
