Portrait, William Henry Harrison, 1840
notes: label: Description
content: William Henry Harrison’s winning campaign for president, as a Whig running against incumbent President Martin Van Buren in 1840, made use of his military background, borrowing Andrew Jackson’s appeals in 1828 and 1832. This portrait depicts William Henry Harrison as a young-looking Major General, back in the 1810s when he led troops in conflicts against Native Americans, like the victorious Battle of Tippecanoe..
