“THE HARRISON ALMANAC 1841,” New York, 1840, stitched, last leaf almost separated at fold along spine, a couple minor dampstains, text tanned, VG. A biographical almanac of William Henry Harrison during the presidential election of 1840. Although Harrison was already well-known and popular for his victory in the War of 1812 and his running for president in 1836, the biography emphasizes his military career and selflessness. Some woodcuts depict Harrison in battle, but most attempt to define his character: "Harrison saving the Life of a Negro"; "Harrison giving his Horse to a Methodist Minister"; "Harrison's Humanity in War." The final woodcut shows a flag-waving Harrison with a bald eagle on his arm standing by some troops and a cask of hard cider; a symbol which his supporters endorsed as they attempted to portray him as the friend of the common man.
