COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, Nov. 13, 1799  A page 2 report states: "Captain William Henry Harrison is chosen delegate to Congress, from the North Western Territory. Capt. H. is a very respectable gentleman, and of course, a friend to government."
This is the earliest mention of Harrison we have found in a newspaper, who would distinguish himself in the War of 1812 and become President in 1841. At this time he was just 26 years old.
Occasional foxing otherwise in good condition.
