RARE HARTRANFT CAMPAIGN RIBBON.
RARE HARTRANFT CAMPAIGN RIBBON. A gorgeous, 1872 campaign ribbon. John Frederick Hartranft of Pennsylvania, 1830-89, distinguished himself in the Civil War in numerous major campaigns. Promoted Brigadier-General of volunteers for gallantry at Spotsylvania Court House in 1864 and in 1865, he was brevetted Major-General of volunteers for "conspicuous gallantry" in driving back the enemy at Fort Stedman. He was twice elected Governor of Pennsylvania, 1872 and 1876. This multicolored campaign ribbon articulates the fact that anyone with a war record campaigned on Lincoln's coat-tails... long after his death! An absolutely lovely specimen.
