Inaugural Address of President Wm. H. Harrison. n.p: [1841]. Printed Broadside, 481 x 295 mm, unsigned. Text in four columns. Folded, with creases and slight losses to edges; WITH: Printed Broadside on silk, 615 x 460 mm, entitled President Harrison's Inaugural Address, in blue ink, published by J. Murphy, Baltimore. Light staining and fold creases. CONTEMPORARY BROADSIDE by an unknown publisher, of the longest inaugural address in U.S. history. Harrison's address, although edited down by Daniel Webster, was still 8,445 words in the final draft. It outlined his political platform in detail, and took him almost two hours to deliver. Because of the cold damp weather on inauguration day, his appearance without an overcoat or hat, and the length of this oration, it is remembered in the popular imagination as a possible cause of his death from pneumonia 31 days later.
