Never Before Was Drought a Vacaville Problem / Rico, John [940] [RICO-1978-940]
THE RAINS HAVE ARRIVED - After two exceptionally dry seasons, rains in substantial quantities have arrived in the Vacaville area.

Some may have heard of the poem, "Man With a Hoe," but don't know that a man who once lived in the now-contentious Lagoon Valley wrote it. So, let's look at a little history of Charles Edwin Anson Markham and some interesting contradictions.

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.
