Warren Harding’s “Voyage of Understanding” in 1923 took him to the Pacific Coast and resulted in a number of firsts: first sitting president to visit Alaska, first sitting president to visit Canada, first sitting president to die on the West Coast. It was a tragic journey. On July 4, he was in Oregon. This publicity ribbon is a 5 1/4 inch item with a light stain. No one at the Independence Day event had an inkling that less than a month later, Harding would be dead.
