New Year in Washington Captivates Capital Society
In January 1863 Washington burst with New Year gaiety as crowds thronged the streets. The President and Cabinet welcomed guests at the White House, Secretaries held informal calls, and foreign ministers arrived in full dress. The day featured parlor receptions, generous fare, and a sense of national resolve amid ongoing Civil War duties.
