This book describes its events from the opening roar of cannon for the Whig standard bearers in the log-cabin and hard-cider campaign to the death of Harrison soon after he took office.

The best book on the 1840 campaign,
By
This review is from: The Log-Cabin Campaign. (Hardcover)
This book was published in 1957 and is generally deemed the best book on the wild and unusual campaign waged in 1840. The Whigs nominated William Henry Harrison, who at the time was a mere clerk of court in Ohio,though he had in the past spent four years in the House of Representatives and four years in the Senate. The Whigs adopted no platform and based their campaign on songs and slogans. The book is the result of primary research in the newspapers of the day, and is well-done. Anyone interested in ante-bellum politics will want to read this book.
