Historic Welcome for Roosevelts and Admirals Resurrects Old Celebrations
A long account recalls Roosevelt and a sea of admirers in New York as they welcomed war heroes. Grant’s 1879 world tour was celebrated in San Francisco with a 21 gun salute and fireworks, while Dewey’s Manila Bay victory led to a two day Powey celebration with 32,800 marchers, a Dewey arch, and a loving cup. Bryan’s European tour return drew affectionate cheers but less spectacle.
