Sperry and Hinckley’s published marching guidebook.
In contrast to the Chalker-Pitkin symbiotic relationship of opportunistic parasites, the five true workhorse founders meet a key collaborator; A student at Connecticut’s military academy, Lieutenant Arthur Hinckley finds Sperry and offers to teach the boys proper marching technique. Hinckley and Sperry write and illustrate a marching guide that they will soon distribute to clubs across the country. Hinckley and the Wide Awakes figure out how a decentralized movement can have a scalable leadership structure which can stay flexible enough that distant clubs can focus on local issues using their own methods. They define the principles of a big tent populist political party before the Republican Party’s actual convention.
