WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON the 8th president

Harrison was president a little longer than 1/2 a year. He was born in Berkely in 1773. He studied classics and history at Hampden-Sydney-College, then began the study of medicine in Richmond. Suddenly that same year, 1791, he switched interests. He obtained a commission as ensign in the First Infantry in the Regular Army, and headed Northwest, where he spent most of his life. On April 4, 1841, he died.
