MIDDLETOWN – Buck English, stagecoach robber, cattle rustler and overall outlaw, terrorized the Middletown area in the 1870s and 1880s and was finally captured in 1895, in a Wild West chase described as the “greatest manhunt in Napa County history.”
In 1890, three people died, four went to prison and many lives were ruined in an event that was labeled by the newspapers as the “White Cap Murders.”
Linda Lake, curator of the Lake County museums, will describe these two snippets of Middletown history on Tuesday, Aug. 3, at the regular meeting of the Stone House Historical Society.
Her talk will be followed by an old-fashioned potluck picnic.
The group meets at 10 a.m. in the activity room next to the Hidden Valley Lake Association offices.
Visitors are always welcome.
Nonresidents of Hidden Valley should call 707-987-8764 or 707-987-7370 for gate access, and enter at the Hartmann Road gate.
