Synopsis
Excerpt from Biographical Sketch of the Life and Services of Gen. William Henry Harrison: Together With His Letter to Simon Bolivar
He received the commission of Ensign, in the first regiment of the United States Artillery, then at Fort Washington, the site of the present city of Cincinnati, and immediately set out to join the army, and reached it a few days after Gen. St. Clair' s memorable defeat.
He was at that time but nineteen years of age, tall, slender, and apparently wholly unsuited, from the ten derness and luxuriousness of his education, to brave the storms, encounter the hardships and perils, and battle with the beasts and savages of the wilderness. At that time the great valley of the Ohio and Mississippi, now filled with millions of civilized men, was roamed over by countless nations of hostile Indians, and the mighty rivers, now covered with a hundred steamers.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and career of William Henry Harrison, a prominent figure in American history. The author meticulously traces Harrison's journey from his early years as a medical student to his rise as a military leader and statesman, culminating in his presidency. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a tumultuous period in American history, characterized by westward expansion, conflicts with Native American tribes, and the War of 1812. The book offers a fascinating look at the challenges faced by those who sought to shape the destiny of the young nation. Harrison's military leadership is showcased through vivid accounts of his key campaigns, including the Battle of Tippecanoe and the Battle of the Thames. The author also explores Harrison's political ideals, particularly his unwavering belief in republicanism and his fierce opposition to the encroaching influence of British imperialism. The book culminates with a profound and moving letter penned by Harrison to Simon Bolivar, the Liberator of Colombia, as Bolivar was on the verge of assuming despotic power. This letter, infused with a deep understanding of the principles of liberty, serves as a powerful warning against the allure of unchecked authority and a compelling reminder of the enduring significance of democracy. The book ultimately presents a powerful and insightful exploration of the complexities of leadership, the pursuit of liberty, and the enduring legacy of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping the American West.
