Townsend, E. D. (Edward Davis), 1817-1893. Description of ceremonies at Fort Sumter, 1865 May 28.

Title: Description of ceremonies at Fort Sumter, 1865 May 28.

Essay describing ceremonies at the close of the Civil War in Charleston, S.C., at which Maj. Robert Anderson raised the U.S. flag over Ft. Sumter, listing prominent abolitionists in attendance, describing devastation of Charleston, and including his brief remarks during the ceremony; Townsend had been sent by the Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton to serve both as his representative and in a supervisory capacity. Describes festivities marking end of Civil War, where dignitaries included Henry Ward Beecher, William Lloyd Garrison, Theodore Tilton, editor of the Independent, Judge-Advocate General Joseph Holt, Massachusetts Gov. John Henry Clifford, and other anti-slavery activists, including Englishman George Thompson. Charged with preserving the dignity of the occasion as well as suppressing any potentially embarrassing incidents, Townsend noted, "to avoid the speech making which many of the ultras panted for, I hit upon the plan of printing a programme & made it to be understood that we should stick to that." In order "to let off the enthusiasm a little," Townsend allowed the singing of the national anthem, which was followed by the raising of the U.S. flag. This essay mentions the reaction of Charlestonians to the assassination of President Lincoln, and also includes a vivid description of the damage to the city: "The lower part is destroyed in great measure by our shells. The middle part by two great fires, and only the upper part, sparsely built, remains. Most of the young & middle aged men of So[uth] Car[olina] are gone. The State is a ruin, & the spirits of the people are much broken." Includes undated newspaper clipping re other events during Townsend's visit to Charleston.
