"ABRAHAM LINCOLN, of Illinois, was yesterday inaugurated as the Sixteenth President of the United States"
"Early in the forenoon, when the flag was unfurled upon the Capitol, one of the halliards gave way, and, splitting in two, the flag flung out like a pennant. For a long while it could not be taken down, though finally an adventurous man climbed to the top of the staff, and, tearing away the ill-omened standard, replaced it with an entire flag of the Union."
-- New York Times, March 5, 1861
