Vallejo detained in revolt 150 years ago
/
Delaplane, Kristin
[290]
[ECHOS-1996-290]
By the 1840s, the Mexican hold on California was weakening. There were less than 10,000 Mexicans living in California, and they were not a particularly powerful group, as they were scattered throughout the area in small towns and settlements. Many Californians, including Mexican nationals, were unhappy with Mexico's rule, which was very slack and provided the settlements with little support. Thus, the Union, the United States, was in a good position to win support and take over.

Vallejo's Annie Lizzie Gill was a pioneer activist
/
Bowen, Jerry
[839]
[WAYITWAS-2008-839]
As I start this series of columns, I have absolutely no idea on how many installments it will take to finish the story of a remarkable lady that lived in Vallejo, Annie Lizzie Gill who was born in 1863 on a farm outside the town of Oblong, Ill. Her story is a wonderful cavalcade of events and personal anecdotes before arriving in Vallejo in 1918, but since this is a local history column, I'll stick mostly to her life here in Solano County.

[ECHOS-1995-256]
Information for this article came from the Solano Genealogy Society and the Yolo County Library. In early days, Putah Creek passed just south of what is now the city of Davis.
