Dear sir or madam,
My name is Jonathan Scott; I am months away from completing my BA in History from Georgia State University in Atlanta, GA. My senior thesis, which I am to begin work on shortly, is to grapple with the broad-strokes question of commemoration. I am interested in pursuing a topic relating to the commemoration of the Confederacy in states that did not secede from the Union, and as California was a Union state as far distanced from the South as one can get in the lower 48, I thought I might inquire if you are aware of any pertinent sites in your state that I can investigate further.
I am looking for (potentially) a monument to the Confederate dead or the Lost Cause (of the type that dot every courthouse square here in GA), a Confederate cemetery, or possibly a town that celebrates Confederate Memorial Day, or perhaps a town that offically celebrates any aspect of the CSA - Lee/Jackson birthdays, etc. My quest to find information of this nature the internet continually brought me back to the California SCV Chapter page, and I hope that you do not take umbrage to my approaching you with this query.
All that being said...do you have information on any such Confederate commemoration in your state?
Thank you in advance, and I look forward to your correspondence.
Many kind regards,
~Jonathan Scott
