William Henry Harrison- A Man of Many

         

 

          William Henry Harrison was the ninth president of the United States of America. He was a very involved and intelligent man. Through his years he was a student at Hampden-Sydney College and Richmond, a general at the Battle of Fallen Timbers, governor of the Indiana Territory and the ninth president of the United States. He always put his heart into everything he did, and had a lot of determination. In his Inaugural Speech he promised to listen and be obedient to the will of the people. Even though he wasn’t able to fulfill his role as president, because of his sudden cold, he is an admirable man. All his work has made a great difference to our government today.
