| Description | "The ribbon illustrated here measures 7” by 2½” and was engraved by George Girdler Smith of Boston. The badge features a bust portrait of Harrison below a banner reading “Harrison & Reform,” and with a star and the word “Constitution” above that. Beneath the portrait is a vignette surrounded by a wreath, the image revealing a log cabin scene depicting Harrison at the plow as he greets a former military comrade. In the right background is a shadow image of the Bunker Hill Monument still under construction in 1840 and with the words “Bunker” and “Hill” on either side of the wreath. This badge was created for wearing at a Harrison Convention to be held at Bunker Hill in Charlestown, Massachusetts on September 10, 1840. At the top of the badge are the words “Danvers Delegation.” Numerous town Whig supporters attending this political event were identified by their ribbon designation. The Harrison rally of September 10 attracted some 20,000 participants from New England and numerous other states. They gathered at Boston Common and marched eight abreast on a four-mile parade to Bunker Hill. Keynote speaker was Daniel Webster. A heavy rainstorm interrupted the proceedings during which Webster remarked to the crowd, “Any rain gentlemen, but the reign of Martin Van Buren.”"--Danvers Public Library |
