Quicksilver dominated Solano mining / Bowen, Jerry [208] [WAYITWAS-2004-208]
For some of us lucky enough to navigate our way through the complexities and dangers of living and able to dodge the grim reaper for six decades or more, we have been able to experience many things. For me, it was a long circuitous route before I became genuinely interested in history.

Last summer, I was fortunate to be able to take a boat ride from Vallejo that explored the underside of both the present and the new Carquinez bridges. Seeing those massive pylons and huge spans of metal construction was an incredibly impressive sight.

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.

A taste of gold fever in Solano / Bowen, Jerry [140] [WAYITWAS-2002-140]
The allure of gold and silver goes back a long way. An ancient culture in the area of today's Eastern Europe began roughly 6,000 years ago to use gold to fashion decorative objects. The gold probably was mined in the Transylvanian Alps or in the Mount Pangaion area of Thrace.
