This has been called the greatest
task of its own kind that has ever
been performed il the world.
August 20, 1888, Benjamin Har'
rison, twenty-third president of the

grandfather signed the Declaration
Of Independence, his grandfather
was United States president, and
his father was a member of the ma
tional house of representatives.
