Portrait print of William Henry Harrison - Harrison (1773 - 1841) was the ninth US President (1841) and first to die in office.
Portrait print circa 1841 of William Henry Harrison. Harrison (1773 - 1841) was the ninth US President (1841), the oldest elected until Ronald Reagan in 1980, and the first to die in office. He died on his thirty-second day as President - the shortest tenure in American presidential history - and his death caused a brief constitutional crisis which ultimately resolved many issues about the Presidential succession. Prior to taking office Harrison was an army officer who gained national fame for leading US forces against American Indians at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. He was also a General in the War of 1812 and was victorious at the Battle of the Thames in 1813. Engraving by John Sartain (1808 - 1897), based on a painting by James Reid Lambdin (1807 - 1889).
