Benicia-Martinez Bridge makes history
/
Bowen, Jerry
[61]
[WAYITWAS-2001-61]
A letter from Ross Noonan brought an error to my attention in the article about the ferryboat Solano, published January 7.

I should have stuck to the rule of checking my facts from at least two verifiable sources [...]

/
Rico, John
[936]
[RICO-1979-936]
BITS OF NEWS ABOUT PEOPLE IN OUR PAST - Quite often the unpublished quirks or idiosyncrasies of individuals in our past have escaped historians or news writers. It should be interesting to go back, pick out some of these people, and relate a few squibs which made these people a bit unique to their neighbors and friends. Constable Joe Stadtfeld is mentioned in this article..

Prehistoric camels roamed Potrero Hills
/
Delaplane, Kristin
[277]
[ECHOS-1996-277]
First in a series The low-range Potrero Hills start about three miles southeast of Fairfield and run some five miles or 10,000 acres. The maximum elevation is 400 feet above sea level. The geologists find the fact that they run in an east-west direction - interesting, as the majority of such features in the area run northwest.

Vallejo's shot as state capital is short-lived
/
Delaplane, Kristin
[233]
[ECHOS-1995-233]
Information for this article came from the Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum and Vacaville Heritage Council - First of two parts. During the age of the American Indians, the region around Vallejo was known for its wild cattle and horses that fed on the area's high oats. No evidence has ever turned up to show that there were Indian settlements there, but it does appear tribes came from Suisun Valley and other locations to dig for shellfish and hunt the cattle and other game.

/
Bowen, Jerry
[567]
[WAYITWAS-2005-567]
Some of the most interesting local history comes from the people who lived it. Last year, during the Solano County Historical Society's Pioneer Days Celebration, I was very fortunate to meet Betty Davis who lives in Fairfield. While we were talking, she asked me if I would be interested in a family history that was written by her mother, Edith Lucille Venning.
