Review: New-York Times, 05 June 1864.

“TWENTY THOUSAND CITIZENS ASSEMBLED. . . . Last evening the citizens of New-York assembled in mass at Union-square, to raise their united voices in testimony of the nation’s gratitude to Lieut.-Gen. Grant, add [sic] to the armies of the Republic now under his command. . . .

The Glee Club then sang the Star-Spangled Banner, which was loudly applauded.”
