"He was the first president to die during his term of office, and his administration, which lasted exactly one month, was the shortest in U.S. history."

"The shortest term in office was exactly one month and that was William Henry Harrison. He gave the longest inaugural speech in history and it was on a cold March day as inaugurations used to be in March not in January and he didn't wear a hat, didn't wear a coat, caught pneumonia, died a month later".
"he gave the LONGEST speech in inaugural history" THAT was the final answerx;-) Guess he should have shut up sooner and who knows where that would have taken our history???!!!I wonder if his inaugural speech is anywhere out there, preserved for future generations? I sure would like to know what his said that was so important he ultimately died over it.
