Vallejo, others taken prisoner by rebellions / Bowen, Jerry [632] [WAYITWAS-2006-632]
In my last column, members of the Bear Flag Rebellion had invaded Gen. Mariano Vallejo's home June 14, 1846. In spite of the tense situation, Vallejo acted as a welcoming host to the changing leadership and assisted with the writing of the articles of capitulation. Many of the members of the rebellion were feeling the effects of the liquor they were consuming both inside and outside Vallejo's home.

Gen. Vallejo's travails in prison, upon release / Bowen, Jerry [634] [WAYITWAS-2006-634]
In my last column in this series, Gen. Vallejo had narrowly escaped an execution that Lt. Fremont favored. Vallejo and his fellow prisoners were then unceremoniously thrown into their "cell" together at Fort Sutter and their future remained very uncertain.

Infamous Vallejos played big role in 1846 rebellion / Bowen, Jerry [5] [WAYITWAS-2000-5]
Monuments have been built to them and writers have both praised and denounced their actions. They have been variously described as rebels, heroes, traitors and patriots. Some historians and writers might be said to be biased depending on your point of view, and so it is even today.

Gen. Vallejo sets out to tame the territories / Delaplane, Kristin [251] [ECHOS-1995-251]
First in a series Information for this article came from the Vacaville Heritage Council, Solano Genealogical Society and Solano Historian. Gen. Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, born in 1808, was to become the most prominent man in Northern California. He could date his ancestors back to the days of Columbus, when Alonzo Vallejo, admiral to the Spanish King, escorted Columbus back to Spain.

Crime no stranger to early 1800s Solano / Delaplane, Kristin [285] [ECHOS-1996-285]
Last in a series The jail in Benicia was unable to hold a prisoner accused of larceny. In fact, the jail was so rarely used that it was not in shape to hold anyone. The prisoner was carted off to the jail in Martinez. A Chinese gentleman at the Solano Hotel was arrested and taken to San Francisco by one of the emissaries of the Chinese Secret Society [...]
