"Death of President Harrison! We are constrained to confirm the painful tidings which have already been borne on the wings of the wind to every portion our land. WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON IS NO MORE!"

The Log Cabin was published from May 1840 to November 1841 to support the candidacy of William Henry Harrison, who unexpectedly died six-days prior to this issue, on April 4, after a brief illness. He was the first President to die in office.

This paper's wild popularity caused Greeley to establish his most well-known paper, the New-York Tribune.
