Harrison's campaign newspaper, from shortly after his death...

Item # 716790 ·
THE LOG CABIN, New York, April 17, 1841  The famous campaign newspaper published by Horace Greeley in support of William Henry Harrison in the 1840 election, its success carrying over to many issues beyond the inauguration--including this one.
This issue is from shortly after Harrison's death, content including: "Gen. Harrison's Last Letter" 'Mr. Tyler's Opinions" "The Presidential Succession" [remember that Harrison was the first President to die in office] & a few other items relating to Harrison's death.
Page 3 has a full column with: "President Tyler's Address To the People of the United States" which--partially--concerns the death of Harrison.
Four pages, engraving of a log cabin in the masthead, good condition.
