In the Far West, a Eugene, Oregon resident sparks a riot with his public praise for Jefferson Davis

Following the news of the various Confederate surrenders in the East, southern supporters Philip Henry Mulkey walked the streets of Eugene, Oregon shouting "Hurrah for Jeff Davis, and damn the man who won't" over and over. He was quickly arrested but just as swiftly a pro-Union lynch mob assembled.  Union militia transferred him to Fort Vancouver where he spent three months in custody.  He later sued for false arrest.  (By John Osborne)

In Washington D.C., thousands watch as the victorious Army of the Potomac parades through the city

On the first day of the Grand Review of the victorious Union armies, the Army of the Potomac marched through the capital city in bright and sunny weather. The army's 2nd and 5th Corps, along with the cavalry of General Sheridan made a remarkable sight as Sheridan's men alone took an hour to pass the reviewing stand.  On the stand were President Johnson, General Grant, and the Army of the Potomac commander, General Meade.
