A review by agrinavich
William Henry Harrison by Sean Wilentz, Gail Collins
3.0
I find myself pretty indifferent to William Henry Harrison - probably because he was president for one month before passing away. By all accounts he was a kind guy.
What was interesting for me reading this was learning that it was really the first time the candidates started to campaign for themselves (prior to that, it was considered to be in poor taste). It's also when people really started to embrace complete fabrication in campaigning .. which we all know has healthily continued on to this day.
