William Henry Harrison is remembered today primarily for his brief presidency--he died only 32 days after taking office. But as this biography from 1840 makes clear, Harrison was a major figure in American politics for many years before his presidency. A celebrated military hero and the first Whig candidate for president, Harrison campaigned as a man of the people who would return power to the masses.

This book describes its events from the opening roar of cannon for the Whig standard bearers in the log-cabin and hard-cider campaign to the death of Harrison soon after he took office.
