New Book Chronicles the Rich History of Dixon Township and the Impact of the Railroad
Mary Z. Savage and Shirley F. Humphrey [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCFXQQFR] have co-authored a compelling new book, The Railroad Advanced Dixon's Township [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCFXQQFR], which delves into the fascinating history of Dixon, a small town in Solano County, California.

With contributions from local families and historical societies, The Railroad Advanced Dixon's Township weaves together personal stories, historical events, and the struggles faced by early settlers. It highlights how Dixon transitioned from a modest settlement into a thriving community, thanks to the advent of the railroad in 1870. The manuscript also touches on major historical moments, such as the California Gold Rush, the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, and the recent global COVID-19 pandemic, which reshaped life in Dixon.
The book's dedication honors Shirley F. Humphrey, who passed away before its completion. Her tireless efforts in gathering the community's memories and encouraging residents to contribute helped bring this vital project to fruition.
Mary Z. Savage expressed her gratitude to all who contributed, including the Dixon Historical Society and the Vacaville Heritage Council, for their invaluable support in preserving the history of the town.
