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.

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.

Cherries played vital role in orchards / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [16] [WAYITWAS-2000-16]
Cherries once were one of the important crops in the Vacaville and Suisun area. While apricots, peaches and pears were secure crops that could be dried and stored, cherries were - and still are - a highly speculative crop, as late spring rains easily can ruin a whole harvest.

Cement bonds community with work, play / Delaplane, Kristin [248] [ECHOS-1995-248]
Information for this article came from the Vacaville Heritage Council, Vacaville Museum, Solano Historian, and Vacaville Public Library. The town of Cement came into being in 1902. It lasted a quarter of a century, then was totally abandoned in 1927. But it had a hell of a run, as they say.

Two different towns of Cordelia / Bowen, Jerry [78] [WAYITWAS-2001-78]
According to Thompson and West's 1878 Atlas of Solano County, Cordelia is the second-oldest town in Solano County. The same information was provided in the 1879 Wood-Alley History of Solano County. Since then, writer after writer and historian after historian has repeated this as fact ... including me.
