President William Henry Harrison (1773-1841) was elected the ninth US President in 1840, mainly due to his reputation as a military hero of the Indian Wars in 1811 and the War of 1812. He was inaugurated on March 4, 1841. However, the wintry conditions in Washington and the stress of his position may have contributed to his subsequent serious illness, a cold which became pneumonia during late March. He died on April 4, after only 31 days in office. He was succeeded by his Vice president, John Tyler.
