Bird's Landing finds strength as retail center
/
Delaplane, Kristin
[239]
[ECHOS-1995-239]
Information for this article came from the Vacaville Heritage Council, Vacaville Museum, and Solano County Genealogical Society. Second of two parts Last week we looked at the beginnings of Collinsville, founded by the notorious Hastings as a new frontier for a group of Mormons. The Mormons never arrived, but a settlement of farmers and fisherman was established. The land changed hands and was the product of a huge land scam. In two years the scam unraveled and the town was sold to Emory Irving Upham.

'Tapeworm ticket' hurts intestines of election
/
Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[765]
[WAYITWAS-2007-765]
My last column looked at local elections in the 1860s and 1870s and their tumultuous proceedings. One of the most memorable elections occurred in 1871, when Vallejo gained national fame for the invention of the so-called "tapeworm ticket." The main information for the events surrounding this ballot ticket can be found in "Recollections of a Newspaperman," written by Frank A. Leach in 1917.
