Dear Martin Bear,
As a representative of the Southern Oregon Cascade Civil War Society, I take pride in being the first to leave you a comment on your travels and interest in our nations' history in the Civil War era. You are a cute bear and have done well in your research of the names of the battles in comparison. Keep up the good work my good bear, and our organization will keep a good eye on your continued adventures through time!
Cordially,
Miss Kate Cumming
