Gen Grant to Arrive in San Francisco Next Sunday
Fair weather and no accidents set the stage for Gen Grant’s intended arrival in San Francisco next Sunday. Californians plan a reception, while Kilpatrick’s lecture on Sherman’s March to the Sea drew note for its variations from prior versions. Historically, a public call for humane treatment of Sherman’s wife and children is echoed, alongside critical views of a Corkonian figure. A Citizens’ tribute to Civil War veterans, including Taggart and Waite, frames a broader reminiscence of the Union’s memory and flag.
