Traces of some early homes still survive
/
Bowen, Jerry
[202]
[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.

Bowen, Jerry
[39]
[WAYITWAS-2000-39]
There has been a lot in the news lately about frustrating airport delays and gridlock on the nation's highways. Our lives have become so fast-paced even short travel interruptions are quite frustrating.

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.

Inflation Poses Problem for Vaca Retirees

Rico, John
[909]
[RICO-1979-909]
MAYBE, PERHAPS, IF, AND BUT - I don't know how much confidence you can place in learned economists, but nevertheless, some of their utterances make good food for conversation. As a guest of Obie Ladd and his Heart Federal Savings, I had an opportunity to listen to remarks by noted economist, Ezra Solomon, who hangs out at Stanford University, He addressed a large group at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco.

Civil War becomes center of Solano life
/
Delaplane, Kristin
[318]
[ECHOS-1996-318]
The Civil War was the source of much local news in 1863. Pearon's traveling exhibition, "Mirror of the War," was up for three days in Suisun and allowed citizens to see and hear accounts of the war. Local militia groups were formed in the event they were needed for the war effort. It was announced that the Vallejo Rifle Co [...]

[ECHOS-1995-228]
Information for this article came from the Benicia Camel Barn Museum, Solano County Genealogical Society, Benicia Historical Society, and Vacaville Heritage Council (Part 2. Last week was the story of the founding of Benicia in 1848 by Robert Semple, who purchased the land from Gen. Vallejo. The first news of the Gold Rush was in Benicia [...]

Rhyme and reason behind early Solano poet
/
Bowen, Jerry
[544]
[WAYITWAS-2004-544]
I don't suppose that most newcomers to Vacaville have ever heard of Edwin Markham. Some may have heard of the poem, "Man With a Hoe," but don't know that a man who once lived in the now-contentious Lagoon Valley wrote it. So, let's look at a little history of Charles Edwin Anson Markham and some interesting contradictions.

Travelers bugged by strange bedfellows Lodgings harbored pesky critters and sleepless nights
/
Bowen, Jerry
[660]
[WAYITWAS-2006-660]
I was watching the news today regarding the infestation of bedbugs and about fleas carrying West Nile virus. The media went on and on about people traveling all over the world and the result is that diseases and bugs of all kinds are being spread over areas once free from such things.
