Very good look back to that war, I used to get civil war cards with bubble gum, a hundred and fifty years ago good pictures get you back then a bit.

I wonder if the Mendota was named for the historical town in Dakota County just south of the Twin Cities.

You used to get Civil War bubble gum cards a hundred and fifty years ago, too?

Early sixties of the last century,although at times it feels like it could have been much earlier.
