A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Rooster

AT the close of a most notable campaign in American histori when a Democratic vic tory has swept the country from coast to coast, it is fitting that the story of the origin of the party's emblem - the Rooster - be told in this little volume, for it was in the heart of Indiana, in a pioneer campaign back in l840 that the proud bird came into its own. To be more exact, the emblem's birthplace was Greenfield, Hancock County, Indiana, and its originator Mr. Joseph Chapman, one of her famous sons.
