Wenatchee Should Not Host 1911 G A R Encampment
A June 27 1910 letter from Ira P Ferrin argues Wenatchee cannot accommodate 3000 visitors for the 1911 G A R encampment. He cites Hoquiam Aberdeen and Spokane as better hosts and urges delaying the event until Wenatchee can handle it. He also responds to a Hoquiam paper item about a clam bake and defends a local woman against an off color roast.
