Bitter Miners Find Golden Harvests in Suisun / Bowen, Jerry [816] [WAYITWAS-2008-816]
In 1849 the California gold rush was in full swing with people from all over the world headed to the land that was sure to make them rich. But not all were so inclined when they saw the fertile valleys of the Suisun.

Golden Poppies / Wichels, Ernest [796] [WICHELS-1964-796]
Local gardens as well as the countryside are ablaze these April days with our state flower-Eschscholtzia Californica. This golden poppy is deservedly the most celebrated and one of the more popular western flowers. Have you ever wondered why they seem most plentiful along the railway rights-of-way throughout California? Particularly along the railroads in Napa and Sonoma counties: between Sacramento and Auburn; and along the Southern Pacific tracks on the Coast route.
