In 1892, at the direction of Congress, President Benjamin Harrison delivered a proclamation that made October 12, "the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus, [ . . . ] a general holiday for the people of the United States. On that day let the people, so far as possible, cease from toil and devote themselves to such exercises as may best express honor to the discoverer."
