Timeline

1833

He was born in North Bend, Ohio, on August 20, 1833. He came from a family which had a long history in politics--his grandfather William Henry Harrison was a former US President, his father was a Congressman and he had cousins who were congressmen, governors and mayors.

1852

He attended Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, where he was a member of the fraternity Phi Delta Theta, and graduated in 1852.

1854

His son, Russell Benjamin, was born 8 days before his 21st birthday in 1854. Harrison is the second-youngest President to father a child, ahead of only Andrew Johnson.

1862

He was educated at Farmers College and Miami University in Ohio, graduating from the university in 1862.

1864

He was admitted to the bar in 1864 and began a law practice in Indianapolis, Indiana, but soon became involved in Republican politics.

The unit was posted to mostly garrison duty in Kentucky and Tennessee, and in 1864 it was attached to the forces of Gen. William T. Sherman in Georgia. After the war he returned to Indiana and got even more involved in state politics, becoming a driving force in what became known as the Radical Republican movement.

1872

He ran in the Republican primary for the gubernatorial nomination in 1872, but was unsuccessful.

1876

In 1876 he finally got the nomination, but lost the election.

1880

In 1880 he headed the Indiana delegation to the Republican convention and was a major factor in securing the presidential nomination for James A. Garfield, who won the election. He was offered a cabinet post but turned it down in favor of being the party's nominee for Senator, and won the election.

1881

Served in the United States Senate from March 4, 1881, to March 3, 1887.

1887

As a senator he was a strong advocate for civil-service reform and helped in the passage of the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887.

1888

He lost his bid for re-election that year, but in 1888 secured the Republican nomination for President. He ran against Democrat Grover Cleveland, and although Cleveland won the popular vote, Harrison received more votes in the electoral college, therefore winning the presidency.

1889

As President, Harrison's most notable accomplishments occurred in foreign affairs, and he sponsored the first Pan-American Conference in 1889 between the US and Latin America. On the domestic front, his administration secured passage of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, which was popular with the public, but it also passed the highly unpopular McKinley Tariff Act and the even more unpopular Sherman Silver Purchase Act. A major scandal occurred in the Veterans Bureau--later to become the Veterans Administration--during Harrison's presidency; it had been very strictly run during Cleveland's term, but Harrison loosened oversight of it and soon the extravagant expenditures lavished by the bureau's top management on themselves and their cronies shocked the public and forced the resignation of the bureau's pension commissioner.

1890

In the 1890 elections the Democratic party took control of Congress.

1892

Public dissatisfaction with Harrison's administration led to his defeat by former president Cleveland in the 1892 elections, after which Harrison returned to Indianapolis and resumed his law practice.

1897

He wrote several articles for local newspapers and eventually published two books, "This Country of Ours" (1897), a collection of his writings; and a memoir, "Views of an ex-President" (1901).
