William Henry Harrison was the ninth President of the United States. He had the shortest tenure in that office, one month, but he had a lengthy career in Indiana and the Midwest prior to his ascent to the national political stage.

At the beginning of the War of 1812, General James Winchester was sent to Kentucky to take command of the Army of the Northwest. A short time later, General William Henry Harrison was appointed to the post and Winchester was assigned another command. On Jan. 18, 1813, after a sharp skirmish with the British, Winchester and his troops took the small settlement of Frenchtown on the River Raisin. Disregarding scouts who predicted a British counterattack, Winchester waited for reinforcements and provisions he had requested from General Harrison. Since these requests did not reach Harrison for weeks, Winchester was unprepared for the British and Indian attack on Jan. 22. Few soldiers survived the massacre and Winchester was captured. He was imprisoned until 1814 while Harrison continued to fight and win acclaim. In 1816, Robert B. McAfee published an account of the war and denounced Winchester's command as incompetent. Winchester published a defense of his actions in 1817 criticizing Harrison for failing to answer his plea for troops.

Harrison played a major role in the history of the Northwest Territory, serving as army officer (1791-1798); Secretary of the territory (1798-1799); delegate to U.S. Congress (1799-1800); governor (1800-1813); and brigadier general (1812-1814). Harrison later served in the Ohio State Senate and the U.S. House and Senate as a representative from Ohio. He was the Whig party candidate for President in 1836 and 1840, and President of the U.S. in 1841.
