/
Goerke-Shrode, Sabine

Luzena Stanley Wilson and her husband, Mason Wilson, are two names that resonate through Vacaville's early history. The couple arrived in California with their two toddlers in 1849, attracted by the Gold Rush. They experienced the hardships of the rough society of Sacramento and Nevada City before finally settling in the fertile Vaca Valley in 1851.

Flood of 1849 forced residents to rooftops

Goerke-Shrode, Sabine
[795]
[WAYITWAS-2007-795]
This winter has not yet brought much cold or rainy weather, so that my holiday letter to shivering friends in Germany includes photos of roses in bloom. Yet this weather can change quickly, turning into heavy winter rains, such as Luzena Stanley Wilson and her family experienced in 1849 in Sacramento.

/
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.

Dingler, Nancy
[488]

The gold rush of 1849 created a massive migration. People from all walks of life and from around the world made their way to the rich gold fields of California.

Fires and family life at the Water Works
/
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.
