Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of the Proceedings in the City of New Orleans: On the Occasion of the Funeral Ceremonies This Volume is designed to preserve, in a connected and durable form, not only a thoroughly comprehensive but a minutely accurate account of the proceedings in the City of New Orleans: first, on the receipt of the news, Saturday afternoon, July 2d, of the attempted assassination of President Garfield, and, next, on and after the announcement of his death at Long Branch, on Monday night, September 18th, 1881. It was the duty of the Compiler, - when connected with the editorial staff of the New Orleans Picayune in 1852, - to prepare for publication for the City Authorities, a Volume of similar character to this, describing the imposing funeral ceremonies held here, in December of that year, in honor of the great Triumvirate, Calhoun, Clay and Webster, - the latter then but recently departed. The peculiar and vivid interest created by the many local and personal details in that work, when last September, after a lapse of twenty-nine years, it was resurrected from the city archives by the Authorities for purposes of reference and precedents, - indicated the plan to be pursued, with even greater attention to details of facts and individuals, in preparing the present volume. At all events, this work will have a large circulation both at home and abroad; and in hundreds of New Orleans households it will be preserved as the only memento of a memorable event in the history of our City. A memorable event indeed, - for, with the exception of Cleveland, New Orleans was the only city in the United States that tendered to the dead President´s memory so magnificent a public demonstration of sincere regret and profound respect as that hereinafter chronicled.
