Sheridan visit evokes mixed Newport reaction in 1867
Newport on Oct 8 1867 recalls Gen Sheridan’s arrival from New York with a muted welcome. City leaders and three of four militia units joined a parade to his lodgings at S Dexter Bradford Esq. The Aquidneck Rifles declined to march. A Burnside Guards company of Black and colored troops stood ready on the left of the line amid chatter about Irish and Papal influences. Real estate sales loom large as Delancey Kane sells a seaside estate to Philadelphia publisher Peterson for 100000 dollars amid a market of high prices and speculative transfers.
