Additional Details

Illustrated with a portrait of Harrison and 9 captioned scenes from his life. The text was apparently written exclusively for this broadside, rather than being taken from a standard campaign biography--though it was later republished in John Frost's 1848 "The American Generals." Moser, John Tyler Bibliography 1097. 2 copies in OCLC, and none known at auction.
