Benjamin Harrison (August 20, 1833-March 13, 1901) Benjamin Harrison, (1833-1901), 23rd President of the United States of America. Inaugurated 100 years after George Washington, Benjamin Harrison was known as the "Centennial President." He inherited a distinguished name. His grandfather, William Henry Harrison, was the 9th president of the United States. In colonial Virginia five successive generations of Benjamin Harrisons (1632-1791) compiled almost identical records as gentlemen of education and wealth, burgesses, councillors, and militia colonels. Fearless independence, a strong sense of justice, and high intelligence marked Harrison as a soldier, lawyer, humanitarian, and statesman-president. Ranked today as an average chief executive, in his own era he compiled a strong record of constitutional government that enabled the country to approach world power with prudence and caution. Compared with strong, appealing leaders like Jackson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt, Harrison was greater as a man than as a president.. Early Life and Education President Benjamin Harrison's father was John Scott Harrison (1809-1878), the only American to be the son of one president and the father of another. After college, John Scott Harrison managed a 2,000-acre (800-meter) family estate at North Bend, Ohio. In 1831, his first wife having died, he married Elizabeth Irwin, from Pennsylvania. The new bride eventually reared nine children.

Home of the 23rd President of the United States So often, when one thinks of politicians, one thinks of lawyers. While it is true that many politicians happen to be lawyers by trade, nowhere is it more evident than in the occupation of the Presidency. Twenty-six have held the occupation of lawyer. Amongst those gentlemen are some rather distinguished names such as Founding Fathers Adams, Jefferson and Madison, Supreme Court Justice Taft, and Franklin Roosevelt. For lawyers, that would be rather exclusive company to keep. Who's the best of these lawyers? Benjamin Harrison.

Benjamin Harrison Twenty-third President (1889-1893) Eastman Johnson (1824-1906), charcoal and chalk on paper, circa 1895 Benjamin Harrison was a safe, clean, and loyal Republican. Combined with the cachet of being the grandson of President William Henry Harrison, those traits proved to be enough to win him the 1888 GOP presidential nomination. Once in office, he practiced a generally aloof style of leadership, which led even his supporters to view him as an "iceberg." This drawing of Harrison is thought to be a preliminary sketch for a large formal portrait by Eastman Johnson, which hangs today in the White House. Benjamin Harrison Twenty-third President (1889-1893) Unidentified artist, woodcarving, 1888 This folk portrayal of Benjamin Harrison is a memento from his 1888 presidential campaign. Among the noteworthy aspects of the contest were the funds raised to promote Harrison's candidacy. Built up largely through donations from eastern businessmen who warmly supported Harrison's call for high protective tariff, his presidential war chest contained in excess of $3 million. It was an extraordinarily large amount in the late nineteenth century.

Benjamin Harrison won the presidency with the help of a Republican campaign song called "Grandfather's Hat Fits Ben." Harrison's presidency Harrison did more than any other president to increase respect for the flag of the United States. By his order, the flag waved above the White House and other government buildings. Harrison also urged that the flag be flown over every school in the land. Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust Act during Harrison's administration, and provided for the building of a two-ocean navy of steel ships. The American frontier disappeared as pioneers took over the last unsettled areas of the West. Six new states joined the Union.

Served through the Civil War, brevetted brigadier general. U.S. Senator elected president 1889. ALS, 2 individual sheets, 8vo., Indianapolis, Indiana, Dec. 9, 1880, on decorative letterhead of the "Law Office of Harrison, Hines and Miller" Harrison writes to Carl R. M. Kelly of Louisville. He responds to an editorial in the Louisville Commercial of the previous day. "Your editorial on the senatorial question in Indiana is so very kind and complimentary to me...The attempt to make it appear that there was or could be any personal unfriendliness between (?) and me was the work of those who were not friends to either of us. His withdrawal sets many mutual friends free to act for me." In 1880 Harrison was chairman of the Indiana delegation to the Republican National Convention. Here he played a leading role in nominating Garfield for President. Harrison was suggested as a alternate presidential candidate but refused as he had been elected to US Senate that year. An interesting correspondence with good political association. Excellent. Back to Alphabetical Listing
