    The caption says "3/3/13", not "3/3/13". Wilson's 1st inauguration was 4 March 1913.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks for the catch! We'll fix the title in the source data and reload the description.
  • Rob Ketcherside said:
    I think the caption is a bit misleading. As @cotinis mentioned, the inauguration was on the 4th, pictured here. The crowds on March 3rd were watching the spectacle of the Suffrage Parade on Pennsylvania Avenue, pictured here. I think this crowd is welcoming the president elect to DC. Here's a quote from Jailed For Freedom, 1920, p.21.
    "Where are the people?" This was Woodrow Wilson's first question as he arrived at the Union Station in Washington the day before his first inauguration to the Presidency in March, 1913. "On the Avenue watching the suffragists parade," came the answer.

    roketpad: Thanks for the information. We will update the information and reload the description.
  • Rob Ketcherside said:
    It would be perfect if Wilson arrived while the parade was in progress (not sure on timing). Also, I'm guessing the crowd is looking at the car he's getting into... are they looking towards Pennsylvania Avenue?

    Uhh... are you sure this isn't from 1949? I believe that inaugurations are always in odd-numbered years and elections are in even-numbered ones.

    Hi NGarb114, You are correct Harry Truman's inauguration was in 1949, not 1948. Thanks helping us correct that mistake! Kristin (U.S. National Archives)

    Looking at other photos in the series, which have a date legible, this should be the first inauguration of President Woodrow Wilson, March 4, 1913, as noted, for instance, in this source and also the date is noted by the Library of Congress.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thank you for your information about the date and the event. We will update the source data and reload the description.
