Wolfskill family set tone for Solano's future
/
Delaplane, Kristin
[245]
[ECHOS-1995-245]
Information for this article came from the Vacaville Heritage Council and the Vacaville Museum. Wolfskill descendants can trace their story back to the 1740s Prussia and Frederick the Great's ongoing wars. Rather than fight in wars where the loss of life was incredibly high, in 1742, Joseph Wolfskeil moved to the wilderness of Pennsylvania to take his chances.

Part 2-Spanish Troops Marched In
/
Bowen, Jerry
[673]
[WAYITWAS-2006-673]
When I ended my last column I said, "Second-Lieutenant Gabriel Moraga with seventeen soldiers and an auxiliary force of Christian Indians of unknown size attacked the Suisun force of 120 fighting men on May 22, 1810 near Rockville." Here again is a misconception of history perhaps read out of context. It wasn't at Rockville. It was at or near today's Suisun City.
