Fruit operations make a mark in Vacaville
/
Delaplane, Kristin
[334]
[ECHOS-1997-334]

Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[763]

Rossi family steered Dixon for seven decades
/
Delaplane, Kristin
[431]
[ECHOS-1999-431]
On almost every corner of every busy street it seems there is a gas station. But that wasn't the case in the early years of this century, when "horseless carriages" began clattering over roadways. In fact, when Emil Rossi arrived in Dixon, he probably couldn't see a station at all.

/
Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[4]
[WAYITWAS-2000-4]
During the early years of the Gold Rush, women were a rare sight, especially in the gold fields, but also in the newly forming settlements. One of the few who braved the hardships of the journey was 28-year-old Luzena Stanley Wilson, who, together with her husband Mason Wilson and her two toddler-aged children, came to Vacaville in the spring of 1851.
