Description
Adlai Stevenson II roasts marshmallows at the 1960 campsite on top of a mountain as other Democratic candidates ascend towards the nomination. In 1960, Stevenson, leader of the Democratic party, chose to not actively run for the presidential nomination. Instead, he claimed he would run only if drafted. After a tiff with emerging candidate John F. Kennedy, Stevenson geared up for a run at the National Convention in Chicago.
