William Henry Harrison, born on 09 February 1773, in Charles City County, Virginia, was an American military officer and politician who became the ninth President of the United States. He served as President for only a short time in 1841, making his tenure the shortest in U.S. history. Harrison's presidency was cut short when he succumbed to pneumonia, dying on 04 April 1841, just 32 days into his term. Before his presidency, Harrison gained fame as a military leader during the Battle of Tippecanoe in the War of 1812 and the Battle of the Thames during the Tecumseh's War. His brief presidency and untimely death are significant aspects of his historical legacy.
