Richmond War News and Society Bits of 1865
The bulletin recalls Sheridan at 33, the rebel surrender to Grant, and Foote jailed on Ludlow Street. It notes mood shifts from dampened enthusiasm to red, white, and blues, mentions Gunther’s circle in New York gifting a $2000 punch bowl and fruit stand, and cites proclamations of pardon and fashion reports from Charleston. It also reports Mrs Lincoln and Mrs Grant at the Richmond White House and questions the color of Richmond’s first man.
