Tippecanoe and Tyler Too

[Crayfish57]

Something a little different about old Indiana politics. Tippecanoe and Tyler too. William Henry Harrison who is the shortest serving President at 31 days. In 1840 he was 68 when elected which was oldest until Reagan in 1980. His VP John Tyler who became President still has a living grandson who is 95. Lots of various items came from The battle of Tippecanoe at Battleground IN against Tecumseh when Harrison was territorial Governor. Some for the presidential campaign . I saw where this bottle just sold for $41,000.00

Benjamin Harrison was his grandson and served one term between Grover Cleveland's two terms which is only time in history so far a President served two non consecutive terms. He also lost popular vote but won electoral so this has happened a long time before.

Hard cider was a big slogan for the 1840 campaign Harrison defeated Martin Van Buren, gave a long inaugural speech in the rain caught pneumonia and died .

Managers of those old Presidential campaigns would fit right in with today's tactics.

Yes. In reality he was never really President but was elected.

Indiana also sports the only candidate who ran from prison in Eugene V Debs convict No. 9653.

It’s mind blowing that a grandson of the guy who was president in 1841 is still alive.
