William Henry Harrison

William Henry Harrison became famous as the victor in the Battle of Tippecanoe (Nov. 7, 1811), while also serving as Indiana's first territorial governor, 1801-1812. Through his negotiations with Native Americans 1803-1809 he secured the southern third of what is now Indiana, and most of what is now Illinois for white settlement. He was elected president of the United States in 1840 on the Whig ticket of "Tippecanoe and Tyler too." He died in office 30 days after his inauguration.Harrison is shown seated, wearing a suit with a high collared shirt
