A rare ribbon from the first Republican Party presidential campaign in 1856. John Fremont is pictured with his wife Jessie, who was a force in her right. Jessie was the daughter of Senator Thomas Hart Benton and made a name for herself as an author, opponent of slavery and devoted supporter of her husband. This 6 1/2-inch ribbon picturing the Fremonts has crease mark at center, some light spotting.
