DEDICATION TO ri Harrisori CHRISTIAN GENTLEMAN; PATRIOTIC CITIZEN; BRAVE SOLDIER; WISE STATESMAN AND 23d President of tKe United States. THIS VOLUME IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED BY THE OLD TIPPECANOE CLUB OF CHICAGO. PRESS OF PEERLESS PRINTING CO., 107 FIFTH AVE., CHICAGO, PREFACE. the unique Presidential campaign in UNQUESTIONABLYthis country was that of 1840. A stupendous, peaceful rev- olution! When forty-eight years later the surviving followers of that gloriously successful chieftain, numbering no less than fifty thousand souls, received the glad tidings that the National Re- publican Convention had nominated his distinguished grandson, Benjamin Harrison, for President of the United States, they ral- lied as if by bugle call, formed themselves into scores of Tippe- canoe Clubs, held spirited, soul-stirring meetings, as in days of yore, buckled on the armor, and unfurling their time-worn banner to the breeze, again marched forth to battle and to victory. Most of the veterans, conscious of having participated in their last Presidential conflict, were then ready to exclaim with Simeon of " old: Lord, now lettest thou Thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen Thy salvation." It is improbable that similar coincidences will ever reappear in history, in that the identical principles sacredly maintained by so large a body of voters during almost half a century, notwith- standing the vicissitudes, oft times tumultuous, to which the re- public had meanwhile been exposed, including the unfortunate canvass of 1884, should again be the battle-cry and win popular favor and endorsement and that under consanguineous marshal- ship.

  • Remembering and Forgetting an American President: a Landscape History of the Harrison Tomb
    Remembering and Forgetting an American President: A Landscape History of the Harrison Tomb Charles H. Wade Fulton County, Georgia ABSTRACT: In the village of North Bend, Ohio rest the remains of little-known US President William Henry Harrison. After a long and distinguished military and political career and his election as president in 1840, Harrison earned the dubious distinction of the shortest term in presidential history after falling ill and dying after just one month in office. Following his wishes, Harrison was entombed in an inconspicuous crypt on his North Bend property. For decades afterward, the Harrison Tomb suffered from neglect and vandalism, an artifact that deteriorated along with the memory of this obscure president. There were numerous proposals to preserve the tomb, but nothing materialized. Shortly after World War I, new interest in preserving history and heritage arose, and the tomb received professional preservation and a monument. However, the tomb fell into disrepair again for several more decades until the Ohio Historical Society and a local non-profit restored the grounds and added enhancements to create a park and monumental setting in the 1990s. Through a landscape history approach, this paper traces the evolution of the Harrison Tomb from an austere crypt into a memorial landscape. An historical analysis and comparison to other presidential monuments shows an inequality in the way American society remembers its prominent leaders in the cultural landscape and attendant artifacts. I demonstrate that it was the knowledge and awareness of the Harrison Tomb’s landscape and material culture that provided the impetus to restore it and create a monument for President Harrison after he was essentially forgotten.

KEITH AUTHOR OF "THE PROVINCIAL COUNCILLORS OF PENNSYLVANIA 1733-1776" ETC. PHILADELPHIA 1893 COPYRIGHT, 1893, RY CHARLES P. KEITH. PRINTED BY J. B. LIPPINCOTT COMPANY1 PHILADELPHIA. INTRODUCTION. THE following ,vork, for which the undersigned alone is responsible, it having proceeded neither fron1 the suggestion, nor under the supervision, of any one else, is published for its merits as ·an atten1pt to show, not merely the paternal line, but a11 the other forefathers of an individual. The actual forefathers being arranged in a chart, data "·h ich have been found as to the collateral branches of some of the families are included, with the evidence for the direct lines, in this Introduction and the notes which follow it, headed by the various names, and an effort has b~en made to give an ·account, complete to date, of the Irwin and of the Ramsey family. It is not pretended that the pedigree adds to the distinction of a man who has been President of the United States of America. That office, to be sure, is neither the apex of a system of caste, like a European king's, nor the object of eighteen centuries' veneration, like the Pope's, nor the control of the lives and property of millions, like the Czar's or the ruler of China's; but, at the head of such a nation as ours bas become, it is one of the very greatest positions on the earth.
