"In order to make it look much like Christmas as possible,
a small tree was stuck up in front of our tent, decked off with hard tack
and pork, in lieu of cakes and oranges, etc"

Washington, D.C.
April 11, 1865

Two days after the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's army, a jubilant crowd gathered outside the White House, calling for President Lincoln. Reporter Noah Brooks wrote, "Outside was a vast sea of faces, illuminated by the lights that burned in the festal array of the White House, and stretching far out into the misty darkness. It was a silent, intent, and perhaps surprised, multitude."

Abraham Lincoln's First Inaugural Address

Submitted by david d on Sat, 11/29/2008 - 20:28

Fellow-citizens of the United States:

In compliance with a custom as old as the government itself, I appear before you to address you briefly, and to take, in your presence, the oath prescribed by the Constitution of the United States, to be taken by the President "before he enters on the execution of this office."

I do not consider it necessary at present for me to discuss those matters of administration about which there is no special anxiety or excitement.
