RICHMOND ENQUIRER, Virginia, March 6, 1841 Of significance is the complete print of the very lengthy: "President's Inaugural Address", being that of William Henry Harrison. It takes most of page 3.
His address is prefaced with some editorial commentary on the event, and also includes: "...at 12 o'clock, those assembled on the floor of the Senate repaired to the eastern portico of the Capitol, and in the presence of an immense multitude delivers his subsequent Inaugural Address. The oath of office was then administered by Chief Justioce Taney..." with more.
There are at least 3 distinctions of Harrison as President: 1) his inaugural address is the longest on record; 2) he was the first President to die in office; 3) he served as President for the shortest term (31 days).
Four pages, large folio size, minor damp stain to an upper corner, nice condition.
