Where is the 'real' Vacaville? / Bowen, Jerry [19] [WAYITWAS-2000-19]
In my last column, I stated that it was unknown which blocks of lots in the town of Vacaville were allotted to Vaca and Pena. Well, dagnabbit, that's not quite true. It's just that nobody seems to have written about it that I know of.
