This web site is pretty good at displaying calendars. Just type in the year and it displays the year by month with all the holidays, etc.

Well that was timely! I was reading a book about another trial and wanted to reconcile the days of the week with the dates mentioned in testimony and when I logged on -- there was your post, Harry. Thanks for that!

Thanks for the link, Harry. I had this site bookmarked before, but I didn't realize it showed the holidays for the year.
For 1892, it's interesting to know that they celebrated:
New Years Day, January 1
Lincoln's Birthday, February 12
Washington's Birthday, February 22 - What? No Valentines' Day?
May 30 - Memorial Day (was it called "Decoration Day" then?)
November 24- Thanksgiving
What do these two Christmases mean? They have December 25 as "Christmas Day" (Christian). And December 26 as "Christmas Day Observed" (Christian).
December 25 was on a Sunday that year. Did they "observe" it on the 26 to give people a day off of work on that Monday?

I've only ever heard of December 26th being "Boxing Day" where In Britain the employer gave stipends or tips to the servants?

That could be Christian Eastern Orthodox--they generally celebrate on dates different to western Christian.

We have "Boxing Day" in Canada too...holdover from when we were part of the British Empire.

Is that considered still a day off?
Speaking of regions where we each live, today from noon until 6 pm Central Florida had 18,000 lightening strikes! My computer was unplugged, unhooked, un-phone-lined! I have to shut down for long periods of time this summer!
Hey- I'll trade this for no power due to you-know-what!
