Excerpt from History of Solano County: Comprising an Account of Its Geographical Position; The Origin of Its Name; Topography, Geology and Springs; Its Organization; Township System; Early Settlement, With Descriptions of Scenes as Viewed by the Pioneers, the First American Argonauts of Califo

In presenting the following pages to our subscribers we will draw their attention to the fact that reliability of data has been our aim, rather than the elegance of diction and the verbiage of language.

It has in many instances been a matter of extreme difficulty, the compiling the facts we have here put together. Want of precision in the dates of the earlier occurrences in Solana county have been found a great stumbling block, while a sequence of events has been difficult to gain. Our task has been no easy one. What is there more depressing than to be told in one's researches, "Oh, there is nothing to write about here;" or, "I have nothing to tell in my biography," forgetting that no more interesting records exist than those of the doings of the Argonauts of California, a record which each and all should feel proud in perpetuating in some form that will bear the brunt of time, and hand down their names and their doings, even unto the third and fourth generation; hence, our Biographical Sketches will be found not the least interesting portion of our work.

Doctor Levi Cornell Frisbie, of Vallejo, himself a pioneer of no ordinary experience, has spontaneously penned us the following letter, which we reproduce, not so much as a testimonial, but as a proof of how our labors are appreciated by men of profession and judgment.

Dear Sirs. - Your enterprise in collecting, preserving and presenting in an enduring form facts and incidents connected with the early history of Solano county, is one that pre-eminently commends itself to the favor and support of all our people.
