Events

• 1910: The formal unveiling and presentation to the nation takes place of a statue of John C. Calhoun in Statuary Hall of the Nation's Capitol building in Washington, D.C. It depicts the statesman with his great coat thrown over his shoulders, "and as if he were going to take a step forward. During the unveiling ceremonies words of praise were showered upon him for the wonderful work he had accomplished in his more than forty years of public service."
