Comments on the book "William Henry Harrison" by Gail Collins

This is a well written book that is interesting for the American History it describes from the very late 18th century to 1841, which was when William Henry Harrison died. The author, Gail Collins, provides vivid descriptions of people and events of those times in the Ohio and Indiana territories, which involve Native American, or Indian, people and tribes with their tragic, but provocative histories.

Gail Collins' histories of the Whig and Democratic parties and the evolving American politics, very modern or contemporary in some ways, are also very informative.
