Booklet, "The Republican Campaign Songster", 1856
name: label: associated institution
content: Republican National Party
notes: label: Description
content: This campaign songster would have provided entertainment and information for Republican supporters of John C. Fremont, marching at events across America in 1856. John C Frémont made an easy figure to campaign for in 1856. His exciting background as an explorer of the American west, his romantic stature as a young, relatively novice politician, and his name, which contained the word “Free” and rhymed easily, all leant himself to campaign songs and slogans. Nonetheless, Fremont lost to Democrat James Buchanan, although he did far better than American party candidate Millard Fillmore
