Blueskin, due to his white hair coat, was the horse most often portrayed in artwork depicting Washington on a horse. [4] Washington's other primary riding horse was Nelson, a chestnut gelding said to be calmer under fire than Blueskin. Both horses were retired after the Revolutionary War.

The keynote speaker at the ceremony, U.S. Representative Thomas S. Bocock , would become Speaker of the Confederate States Congress within a year.
