    LifeSketch: William Henry Harrison [ninth president of the United States] was born on February 9, 1773 [in Berkeley Plantation, Charles City, Virginia, British Colonial America]. He was born to a politically active family, with five generations before him serving in political office before the American Revolution. Harrison was tutored as a youth and decided to become a doctor. He attended an Academy in Southampton County before entering the University of Pennsylvania Medical School. He eventually dropped out when [his father died because] he could no longer afford it and joined the army.ison was the son of Benjamin Harrison V, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and Elizabeth Bassett. He had four sisters and two brothers. On November 22, 1795, he married Anna Tuthill Symmes, a well-educated lady from a wealthy family. Her father initially disapproved of their marriage, feeling that the military was not a stable career choice. Together they had five sons and four daughters. One son, John Scott, would be the father of the 23rd president, Benjamin Harrison.s time, he fought in the Indian Wars in the Northwest Territory. He was hailed as a hero at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794 where he and his men held the line. He became a captain before resigning. After that he held public offices until he joined the military again to fight in the War of 1812. as Major General of the Northwest Territories. He led his forces to retake Detroit. He then defeated a force of British and Indians, including Tecumseh at the Battle of the Thames. He resigned from the military in May, 1814.gate to the House (1799-1800) before being appointed Governor of the Indian Territories (1800-12). After the War of 1812, he was elected US Representative (1816-19) then State Senator (1819-21). From 1825-8, he served as a US Senator. He was sent as US Minister to Columbia from 1828-9.hich was headed by Tecumseh and his brother the Prophet. The Americans counterattacked Harrison and his men at Tippecanoe Creek. Harrison led his men to thwart the natives then burned their town, Prophetstown, in retaliation. Many would claim that Harrison's death as President directly related to Tecumseh's Curse, placed on him as a result of this incident. ad unsuccessfully run for President in 1836; he was renominated in 1840 with John Tyler as his Vice President. He was supported by President Martin Van Buren. This election is considered to be the first modern campaign including advertising and more.

It was delivered in the cold during the month of March, and he got caught in the rain. [Miller listed Harrison’s cause of death as pneumonia of the “lower lobe of the right lung … complicated by congestion of the liver.” Modern scholars think the explanation may be more complicated. In those days, Washington, D.C. had no sewer system, and the White House and its water supply sat mere blocks from a marsh that held a depository of “night soil,” human excrement and waste hauled in every day. Harrison likely suffered from enteric fever caused by one of two bacteria, Salmonella typhi or S. paratyphoid, that devastated his gastrointestinal system.] He died on April 4, 1841. He did not have the time to accomplish much during his presidency, spending most of his time dealing with job seekers.s. He is an online course developer for the UK-based Pamoja Education company.
