William Henry Harrison’s First 100 Days

Wednesday April 29, 2009 4:49 PM


Too soon? It’s been 168 years.

Anyway, you probably know the story. William Henry Harrison was the 9th President of the United States. He took his oath of office on a cold, rainy day without a coat or hat and delivered the longest inaugural address in American history. It took him about two hours to read. Then he went on a parade through Washington. He caught a cold, it worsened and then he died about a month later. The doctors tried old timey cures that only made him worse. His 100 day report car was probably littered with a lot of ‘incomplete’s.’
