A version of this object was created by Mary Todd Lincoln's cousin William Todd partly using blackberry juice. Another version of this object, nicknamed “Cuffy,” was removed from use by Paul Revere's grandson Joseph Warren Revere. A group whose name was associated with a version of this object was led by William (*) Ide, whom John Sloat succeeded. This object's design by Donald Kelley was standardized in 1953 by Governor Earl Warren. John C. Frémont (“FREE-mahnt”) promoted a rebellion named for this (10[1])object in 1846, creating a breakaway state from Mexico on the West Coast.
