President Jefferson (March 4, 1801)

Here is another presidential inauguration that occurred in March 1801 that was described in the Daily Milwaukee News, dated 12 March 1869, Friday, page 2, concerning Thomas Jefferson.

Found on Newspapers.com

President Thomas Jefferson was inaugurated at Washington, March 4, 1801. He discarded the pomp which characterized the ceremonies of his predecessors' nd rode to the capitol with an unpretending escort. Neither Mr. Adams nor Mr. Sedgwick were present at the proceedings, both having left for Massachusetts before they began, and the great concourse of people, which had served to make the previous inaugurations imposing, was wanting, the traveling facilities of those days being too limited to admit of people coming to the capital from distant places.

Dressed in a plain suit, Jefferson entered the senate chamber alone and took the seat of vice president Burr. The oath was administered by chief justice Marshall, and the event was celebrated by the discharge of artillery. In the evening he gave a reception, over which Mrs. Madison presided. His second inauguration, 1805, was more brilliant. Among the lions present was commodore Preble, who had returned from his bombardment of Tripoli. Chief justice Marshal administered the oath.
