Description
An account of the resource
In February 1841 President-elect William Henry Harrison arrived during a snowstorm at the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/344">Baltimore and Ohio railway station</a> near the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/59">US Capitol</a>. The first president to arrive at an inaugural by train, his inauguration also marked the first time an official committee of citizens planned the events. At 8,445 words, Harrison delivered the longest inaugural address on record, but served the shortest time of any American president. His inaugural took place on the east side of the Capitol building in overcast, windy weather. Three weeks later, he became ill and died after only 32 days in office.
