About This Item
[Atlanta]: Atlanta Peace Jubilee, 1898. First Edition. Broadside. Very good. Broadside. Approx. 8" x 6". Vertical fold to the paper. This broadside provides the schedule for Wednesday, December 14th and Thursday, December 15th. President William McKinley and his party attended this celebration having lunch before attending a public reception at the State Capitol on Wednesday. Later that day there was a floral parade and an evening reception at the Capital City Club. Thursday they had breakfast at the Kimball House followed by a Grand Parade and a Grand Banquet at 7:00 p.m. At 8:00 p.m. a theater party at the Grand tendered by the ladies of Jubilee Committee to Mrs. McKinley and the ladies of the Presidential Party: Sol Smith Russell being the attraction. Either the President kept late hours or the programme was inaccurate: following the theater performance the next agenda item was 11 p.m. lunch at Capitol City Club with the President and his party departing at 1:00 a.m. From Franklin Garrett's history "Atlanta Environs", vol. II pages 357-359 summarizes the celebration. Garrett states, "An outstanding event in the local annals for 1898 was the Atlanta Peace Jubilee, held on December 14th and December 15th, celebrating the success of American arms in the late war." General Wheeler was one of the President's party.
