Harrison’s military career saw him at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794, an American victory that ended the Northwest Indian War. In 1811, he led a military force against Tecumseh’s confederacy at the Battle of Tippecanoe, where he earned the nickname “Old Tippecanoe.” He was promoted to Major General of the Army during the War of 1812, and he led victorious American infantry and cavalry at the Battle of the Thames in Upper Canada. In 1840, he ran for president with John Tyler as his running mate, using the famous slogan “Tippecanoe and Tyler Too,” and he served as the ninth president of the United States. Unfortunately, he died just 31 days after his inauguration, giving him the shortest presidency in U.S. history. Harrison was also the last president to be born under British rule.

The details on this hand painted figurine are extraordinary.
