Did you know William Henry Harrison was the first Whig to enter office, and the first President to die in office ?

Did you know that according to some sources Harrison had six children by an enslaved African-American woman named Dilsia and, before running for president, gave four of them to a brother to avoid scandal ? ( He also had ten children with his wife Anna Symmes Harrison.)

Did you know Harrison wanted to be a doctor and actually attended the Pennsylvania Medical School ? (However, he could not afford the tuition and dropped out to join the military where he had prominence in the Northwest Territory Indian Wars from 1791-1798, winning the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794, victory at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, he rejoined the military to fight in the War of 1812 where he ended the war as a major general of the Northwest Territories and decisively won the Battle of the Thames, becoming a national hero in the process.)

Did you know Harrison was the first president-elect to travel by railroad to Washington, D.C., for his inauguration ? (Wearing no gloves and no overcoat despite the freezing weather, he rode up Pennsylvania Avenue on a white horse to take the oath of office.)

Did you know on March 4, 1841, he delivered the longest inaugural address in U.S. history, lasting nearly two hours in freezing rain ?
