Recognition
In a Fourth of July speech of 1876, General Vallejo describes a deep friendship and appreciation for Chief Solano who in the speech he said should be called a prince. The speech was reprinted in The Sonoma-Index of Dec. 4, 1880.
A statue of Chief Solano was sculpted by Bill Huff in 1934. It was first mounted on a rock above Cordelia, later moved to a library in Fairfield.
Solano County is named directly after Chief (Sem-Yeto) Solano.

Famous quotes containing the word recognition:
“In a cabinet of natural history, we become sensible of a certain occult recognition and sympathy in regard to the most unwieldy and eccentric forms of beast, fish, and insect.”

“By now, legions of tireless essayists and op-ed columnists have dressed feminists down for making such a fuss about entering the professions and earning equal pay that everyone’s attention has been distracted from the important contributions of mothers working at home. This judgment presumes, of course, that prior to the resurgence of feminism in the ‘70s, housewives and mothers enjoyed wide recognition and honor. This was not exactly the case.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
