16.	It was a taxing situation during the Depression / Bowen, Jerry [827] [WAYITWAS-2008-827] In my last column we began to take a brief look at some of the history of the Depression of the 1930s. A look at our elected officials performance gives us reason to wonder if they have learned anything from the past. Detailed record - Similar records
17.	Semple was beaten to the punch in naming rights / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [826] [WAYITWAS-2008-826] In 1900, the San Francisco Chronicle commemorated California's 50th anniversary by interviewing prominent pioneer women. Among them was Frances Anne Cooper. She came to the Bay area in 1846 from Howard County, Mo. Her interview appeared on Sept [...] Detailed record - Similar records
18.	Great Depression caused hard times in Solano / Bowen, Jerry [825] [WAYITWAS-2008-825] Today I saw an interesting front page from a United Kingdom newspaper, The Independent, showing a photo that may or may not be a modern soup line waiting for handouts. The headline blatantly shouts, "United States of America 2008; The Great Depression." Detailed record - Similar records
19.	Slavery of Indians was common in California / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [824] [WAYITWAS-2008-824] In 1846, Frances Anne Cooper, who later married Benicia founder Dr. Robert Semple, left Howard County, Mo., with her family for California. The San Francisco Chronicle published her oral history of these years on September 9, 1900 in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of California statehood. Detailed record - Similar records
20.	Suisun City's Early History full of Drama / Bowen, Jerry [823] [WAYITWAS-2008-823] Suisun was a fast growing town from the 1870s to the 1890s. Loads of marble passed through Suisun from Judge Swan's marble quarry located about seven miles north of Suisun at Tolenas Springs en route to San Francisco. A few of the old Suisun families had 40-pound clocks encased in the marble. The mineral water there was bottled and sold, along with sarsaparilla in the bars of the period [...] Detailed record - Similar records
21.	Suisun's early years ripe with growth, drama / Bowen, Jerry [822] [WAYITWAS-2008-822] In my last column, Suisun was incorporated and officers were elected in 1868. By 1879, nearly 10 years had elapsed before the railroad traversed the tule marsh on the direct route to Benicia. Ballast hauled onto the soft peat ground sank from sight time after time, although hundreds of trainloads were deposited. The sink would appear to be filled and work on the track started again, when suddenly the surface would give way, and the tracks would disappear. Detailed record - Similar records
22.	Recounting women's roles in early California / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [821] [WAYITWAS-2008-821] Women played an important role in early Californian history. In 1900, California celebrated its first 50 years of statehood. The San Francisco Chronicle interviewed several prominent pioneer women and published their oral histories in an article on Sept. 9, 1900. Detailed record - Similar records
23.	Cityhood of Suisun petitioned / Bowen, Jerry [820] [WAYITWAS-2008-820] In my last column I talked about nearby Cordelia receiving a post office in 1865 because it was on the stage route from Benicia to Sacramento and Suisun received its mail from that source until receiving its own post office in 1887.

24.	Cattle boom of 1850s short-lived in Solano / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [819] [WAYITWAS-2008-819] In my last column, Luzena Stanley Wilson described her experiences of riding across the hills of Solano County around 1851 to visit her Wolfskill neighbors at Putah Creek and encountering the vast herds of grazing black Spanish steers. Detailed record - Similar records
25.	Bog was barrier between two cities / Bowen, Jerry [818] [WAYITWAS-2008-818] I left off in my last column noting that when Fairfield became the County Seat in 1858, Fairfield was still struggling to become the more prominent city, even though it had the increased influence of being the county seat. Suisun was already an important shipping port and business community, and many of the officials made their home in Suisun rather than Fairfield. Detailed record - Similar records
