Question

A Gene Autry-founded museum holds the last-known copy of one of these objects associated with Isaac Graham and Juan Bautista Alvarado. One of these objects was created by Mary Todd (15[1])Lincoln's cousin William Todd partly using blackberry juice. Another of these objects, nicknamed “Cuffy,” was removed from use by Paul Revere's grandson Joseph Warren Revere. A group whose name was associated with these objects 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. (-5[1])Frémont (“FREE-mahnt”) promoted a rebellion named for this object in 1846, (10[1])creating a breakaway state from Mexico on the West Coast. For 10 points, what official object features a bear and is flown (10[1])in Sacramento? ■END■

ANSWER: flag of California [accept Bear Flag or Bear Flag Revolt or Bear Flag Republic before “bear” is mentioned; accept Red Lone Star Flag; prompt on flag alone; reject answers indicating “Flag of Texas” or conflating the Lone Star Flag with Texas]
