William Henry Harrison

This is probably more like a 3.5 stars, but it suited my purpose, so there you have it.
Takeaways from this book:
Harrison's entire life was spent trying to find a job that would allow him to support his family (he had, like, a million kids...).Harrison was the first president to campaign in person.
Campaign was fabricated (sound familiar?)- H was not some rustic Westerner sitting in a log cabin drinking cider, but a well-educated Virginia gentleman.Choice of Tyler as VP was fairly random - how would first part of the 19th century gone had H picked a running mate more carefully? As an alternate-history fan I find that interesting to contemplate.

(I'm trying to read at least one biography of every US president - this period between Jackson and Lincoln is a bit of a slog - not many books available, so if you have any suggestions let me know!)
