Description
Although William Henry Harrison died a month after becoming President, he lived a full and accomplished life before assuming the presidency.
As a member of Congress, he sponsored legislation dividing the Northwest Territory.
As governor of the Indiana Territory, he led a movement to suspend the provisions of the Northwest Ordinance and earned a reputation for acquiring large land cessions from the Indian tribes, winning the affection of white settlers and the animosity of Native Americans.
Serving as brigadier general during the War of 1812, he then served in the Ohio legislature and the U.S.
Senate, and was named minister to Colombia. This bibliography provides a guide to the literature on his extensive career.
