Chinese a vital part of Solano history
/
Delaplane, Kristin
[320]
[ECHOS-1997-320]
In the 19th century, many Chinese, most of them from Southeast China, came to America's western shores seeking their fortunes. The greatest influx came when they heard of the discovery of gold in California. During this era, many Chinese and others found disappointment in the gold fields, and were attracted to Solano's rich farm land.

Elmira a quiet town but for trains, gunfire
/
Delaplane, Kristin
[345]
[ECHOS-1997-345]
In 1883, Elmira was a relatively quiet place except when the trains came through. Therefore, citizens were more than a little alarmed to hear gunfire one day. It turned out that it was the result of the town's constable, McKinney, firing on an escaping prisoner Napa Jim. Whether or not Constable McKinney hit his target is unknown.
