Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the captivating story of the origins of the Democratic Party's emblem, the Rooster. The author, a descendant of the man who is credited with introducing the Rooster into the party's lexicon, weaves together political history, personal anecdotes, and colorful characters to present a unique perspective on the 1840 presidential election. The author's grandfather, a prominent editor in Indiana, meticulously researched the events that surrounded the ââ Å"Hard Cider and Log Cabinââ  campaign of 1840. The author sheds light on the strategic political maneuvers and the unique personalities of the time, including Joseph Chapman, the author's great-grandfather, whose "crowing" style of oratory became a defining moment in political history. The book explores the rivalry between Whigs and Democrats, the birth of political campaigning as we know it today, and the powerful impact of a simple symbolââ âthe Roosterââ âon the political landscape of America. Through meticulously documented events and letters, the author paints a vivid picture of the vibrant political scene of 19th-century Indiana, revealing how a seemingly simple phrase, ââ Å"Crow, Chapman, Crow!ââ Â, resonated with a nation on the cusp of change, shaping the visual identity of a party that continues to hold sway over American politics.
