William Henry Harrison 9th president (25 gen 1773 anni – 28 magg 1841 anni)

Descrizione:

During his campaign, the opposition tried to cast him as someone who’d rather “sit in his log cabin, drinking hard cider.” Harrison took the criticism and made (spiked) lemonade; he handed out whiskey in bottles shaped like log cabins.

Harrison gave the longest inauguration speech ever (8,445 words over 90 minutes) on a wet, cold day in 1841. He fell ill soon thereafter and died 33 days into his presidency.
