Gen. Benjamin Harrison of Indiana: A Profile in Courage and Leadership This striking portrait captures the essence of Gen. Benjamin Harrison, a prominent Hoosier figure in American history. Born on October 20, 1820, in North Bend, Ohio, Harrison moved with his family to Indiana when he was just a boy. He grew up in the frontier town of Corydon and attended Hanover College before embarking on a distinguished military career. Harrison's military service began during the Mexican-American War, where he rose to the rank of brevet major general. After the war, he returned to Indiana and became involved in politics. Harrison served as a member of the Indiana House of Representatives and later as a U.S. Senator. In 1888, Harrison was elected as the 23rd President of the United States. This photograph, taken in 1888, captures Harrison in the prime of his political career. The image shows him in a serious yet confident pose, with piercing eyes that seem to gaze intently into the distance. Harrison's military background is evident in his impeccable uniform, complete with his brevet general's stars. During his presidency, Harrison faced numerous challenges, including economic instability and political unrest. Despite these challenges, he remained committed to upholding the principles of integrity and justice. Harrison's administration saw the passage of important legislation, including the McKinley Tariff and the Sherman Antitrust Act. This portrait of Gen. Benjamin Harrison serves as a reminder of a man who rose from humble beginnings to become a respected military leader and a visionary president. Harrison's legacy continues to inspire generations of Americans, and this photograph is a testament to his unwavering commitment to serving his country and its people.
