William Henry Harrison: Hey, What Happened? (1841)

William Henry Harrison, a war hero and the ninth U.S. president, was the oldest to take office until Reagan. His presidency was short-lived, lasting only 31 days due to pneumonia, leading to a constitutional crisis about presidential succession. Harrison was known for his military leadership in the Battle of Tippecanoe and the War of 1812. He served in the House and Senate and was a Whig Party candidate in 1836 and 1840, winning the latter with John Tyler as his running mate. His death set a precedent for vice-presidential succession.
