Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Outlines of the Life and Public Services, Civil and Military, of William Henry Harrison
William henry harrison being now before the people of the United States as a candidate for the Presidency, it naturally follows that the events of his life, and the public service he has performed, should become objects of general interest and atten tion. Happily there exist ample means of authentic information to satisfy the public curiosity concerning him, for the history of the Western States, during the period of their early struggles and triumphs, is also his history and his fame is identified with that of the teeming myriads of the Valley of the Mis sissippi. A brief retrospect of his career, civil and military, while it exhibits the character and acts of an able statesman, a high-minded patriot, a brave soldier, and a successful commander, will approve and justify the confidence and respect of his coun trymen, in proposing to raise him to the eminent post of Chief Magistrate of the Union.
