Scenes from a campaign

Against great odds, Pell won a bitterly contested Democratic primary race in 1960. I'm writing about it now. Here are a few photos from the summer of 1960, from Pell's personal scrapbook, on loan from Nuala Pell. Pictured here:
-- Claiborne and Nuala taking a break in their car -- don't know where. But this is one of my favorite photos so far.
-- A mandolin player serenades the candidate and his wife.
-- The Pell "bandwagon," a 1940 truck a Coast Guard buddy donated to the cause.
-- The family outside their home in Newport. Left to right: Bertie, Julie, Nuala, Toby, Claiborne and Dallas.
