This book was released on 2019-02-27 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Serving the shortest presidential term in American history, William Henry Harrison never had the opportunity to demonstrate his skills as the chief executive. Like Andrew Jackson, Harrison was elected largely on the basis of his reputation as an Indian fighter and a successful major general in the War of 1812. When Harrison ran for president in 1840, his campaign was like no other-parades, slogans, whiskey, and songs rallied the populace to come out and vote for the old frontiersman and war hero. In the presidential campaign, he carefully avoided taking a stand on important national issues, rather, "Old Tip," as he was known, ran a campaign based on the themes the common man could relate to. The public shouted the campaign slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler too!" and turned out in record numbers, and General Harrison and his running mate John Tyler won by a landslide over the incumbent president Martin Van Buren. For a reason not known to history, William Henry chose not to wear an overcoat on the cold March day of his inauguration. After a parade up Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol, he then delivered one of the longest inaugural speeches in presidential history. That evening was filled with inaugural balls and by the end of that long day, the sixty-eight-year-old president was worn out. There was no time for rest as he was barraged with people looking for a government job, and his political cronies had a long list of favors for the new president to fulfill. After a few busy weeks, the cold he had been fighting off turned into pneumonia and he became bedridden. Just a month after being sworn in as the ninth president of the United States, William Henry Harrison died, going down in history as the president with the shortest term in office. Though his term in office was short, he had accomplished much for the public good in his long military and political career leading up to the presidency."William Henry Harrison: A Short Biography" reveals the life and times of the ninth president of the United States. 30-Minute Book SeriesThis is the 37th book in the 30-Minute Book Series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Henry Harrison was the ninth President of the United States and bears the unfortunate distinction of being the first sitting president to die in office. He also had the shortest term - a scant 32 days. The author, Burr, has not attempted to write a complete history of the time, only the events relevant to Harrison. Before he became president, he gained distinction at the Battle of Tippecanoe and later served as general, winning an instrumental victory at the Battle of the Thames. For 19th-century and presidential historians, this text offers an in-depth look at a man of many firsts but an oft-forgotten president.?

Book excerpt: A lone, lanky soldier sat at a hand-hewn table hunched over a note pad and a few worn books, quite oblivious of the boisterous men around him. This was often the scene at Fort Washington in the fall and winter of 1791. At the age of 18, Ensign William Henry Harrison had arrived at General St Clair's post, Fort Washington, expecting a well-disciplined band of men. Instead, young Harrison recently sent from Fort Pitt was shocked at the condition. Just before his arrival with his eighty recruits, there had been a major Indian attack. Seven hundred soldiers had been killed and about one-third of them scalped. Women and children had been brutally murdered, other women and children taken for slavery or adoption into the tribe. General St Clair had been wounded. Under young Harrison's direction, the arms and supplies were replaced and soon after, the fort was back in the same old routine. The idle soldiers under a recovered St. Clair were again indulging in heavy drinking, petty fighting and even duelling. Harrison decided then and there that he would spend his time studying military history, battle strategy and literature. No wasteful destructive behaviour for him, but self-improvement of character, and education in his chosen career. The event best illustrates the mark of the man: A gentleman from Virginia of honour, and dedicated to duty. William Henry Harrison rose above all other men to become the ninth president of the United States of America.
