At last! The complete research by local historian James Ramirez
The
Legend of Francisco Solano, Cultural Myths, Frontier Nostalgia,
and How Solano County Discovered the "Chief"
In 2006 the Solano County Historical Society celebrated it's 50th anniversary. Sometime prior to this celebration, Society President Mary Highham called James Stevenson Publisher and nominated Mr. Ramirez's manuscript for publishing, hoping to produce this outstanding research effort in a cooperative project. The book was produced and was presented at the society's anniversary meeting
The book was carefully vetted by the publisher with a scholar known to be informed about "Chief Solano," Clyde Low. Having himself written an article about the Patwin Indian who was baptisted Francisco Solano, Mr. Low was well suited to read the manuscript and comment. He was excited to see Mr. Ramirez's work made available to a wide audience, particularly as it debunked, among other things, some ideas about the relationship of the Chief and General Vallejo.
Also available from the author and local bookstores in the Fairfield and Vacaville, CA.
