William Henry Harrison

William Henry Harrison gets the distinct record of being the first United States president to die in office. William Harrison was a great war general who won many victories against the indians including the Battle of the Thames where the indian leader, Tecumseh, was killed. William Harrison followed the precedent of being a great war general who goes on to the presidency. William Harrison was a very stern and proud 68 year old man who may have been a good president had he not caught a cold during his nearly 2 hour inauguration speech and the died 1 month into his presidency.(Facts about William). William Harrison could have been a good president, but no-one will ever know. To call his time in office a presidency, seems kind of shameful to me. I don't think it's fair to consider him a terrible president when he never truly was president.

William Henry Harrison Memorial.

Again I am unable to locate any information on how many people visit this memorial in a year. I would venture to say that the number would be pretty low, but I am unsure.
