[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: “The Leader Fallen: A Sermon preached in the Rutgers-Street Church,
New York, on Sabbath morning, April 11th, 1841, on occasion of the death
of William Henry Harrison, President of the United States of America”

By John M. Krebs.
Published in New York by Harper & Brothers in 1841. "Printed by Request".

DISCUSSION: President Harrison, "Tippecanoe" of "Tippecanoe and Tyler,
Too" fame was the first U.S. President to die in office, and the event
shook the nation to its core. The fact that he caught pneumonia and died
within a very short time of his inauguration didn't help matters much. A
very nice early Presidential Eulogy -in fact, the earliest President you
can get for a President who died in office.

DESCRIPTION: Disbound. 5.5"x8.5", 44 pages.

CONDITION NOTES: Light soil and a few foxed spots; evidently a family
copy, as it is signed "from her brother, the Author".

PRICE: $50-
