William Henry Harrison
(February 9, 1773 – April 4, 1841)

was an American military officer and politician who served as the ninth president of
the United States. Harrison died just 31 days after his inauguration in 1841, and had
the shortest presidency in United States history. He was also the first United States
president to die in office, and a brief constitutional crisis resulted as presidential
succession was not then fully defined in the United States Constitution. Harrison was
the last president born as a British subject in the Thirteen Colonies and was the
paternal grandfather of Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd president of the United States.
