This page could be linked to from Israel Putnam and the orphan tag removed. --Cornellier (talk) 13:52, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

Images
I wonder if some images could be found of this. Since it's largely ceremonial, apparently the visual look is an important aspect of the history. Searching Google Images brings up a lot. I believe that all works published in the U.S. before 1923 have expired into the public domain. --Cornellier (talk) 13:52, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
