Presidents’ Day at the William Henry Harrison Museum | MESOTHELIOMA US President MUP
Meet Enid Borden, the lonely docent at the William Henry Harrison Museum, in Vincennes, Indiana.It’s her job to welcome visitors and give them tours of the home of the ninth President of the United States, if and when they show up.So desperate was she for company, Enid didn’t even question it when the former homeowner himself appeared on Presidents’ Day morning.Enid Borden: And why is that, sir?W.H.H.:Well, it is Presidents’ Day, is it not?W.H.H.:And I was a President, was I not?E.B.:Indeed, you were, sir.Our nation’s ninth President.E.B.:But this day is for Presidents Washington and Lincoln.E.B.:Well, if you recall, Washington was our nation’s first President.E.B.:Our sixteenth President.He freed the slaves and preserved the union during a civil war.E.B.:While the only thing of note you did, with all due respect, was die of pneumonia a month after you took office.W.H.H.:Not even half of a day?E.B.:Do the math, sir.At best, you’d get an hour.W.H.H.:I could have done a lot, had I lived.E.B.:Then why didn’t you wear a hat or topcoat when you gave your Inaugural Address?W.H.H.:Because I was sixty-eight years old and wanted to show everyone that my age wouldn’t be a factor in my Presidency!W.H.H.( Looking around ): The place looks great.Pretty much as I remember it.Except, what’s that over there?W.H.H.:Oh, my.What do you sell?E.B.:You only had time for one—the parchment on which you scribbled, “Why the hell am I sweating so much?” Which we also believe were your last words, sir.W.H.H.( Shaking his head ): I had such big plans.Tell me, who’s the President now?E.B.:His name is Donald Trump.His Inauguration was last month.W.H.H.:How old is he?W.H.H.:Sounds like you don’t like the man.W.H.H.:What a terrible situation.What’s going to happen?E.B.:No one knows.But what choice do we have, except to keep yelling “I can’t believe what that asshole did today” until he’s out of office, at which point the cumulative exhaled carbon dioxide will help photosynthesize every tree on Earth and hopefully refreeze the polar caps—so, silver lining.Something wrong, sir? Why are you crying?E.B.:Yes, 52.9 per cent of the population voted for you.W.H.H.:Can you hug me?W.H.H.:Yes, and one more thing?E.B.:With pleasure, for the next four years.But hopefully less.
St. Louis History - George Rogers Clark
Some of Lewis and Clark's relatives were just famous and interesting.
George Rogers Clark in any textbook on American history in the 19th century would have come across as one of the great heroes of the revolutionary war. said Dr. Robert Archibald.
Today, we still remember the famed explorer William Clark of Lewis and Clark fame. But long forgotten is his older brother whose accomplishments are arguably just as significant.
George Rogers Clark was the highest ranking American military officer in the Northwestern frontier during the revolutionary war. With the help of both frontiersmen and Native Americans Clark captured the British outposts of Vincennes, now in Indiana, and Kaskaskia, in Southern Illinois.
Imagine if Clark and his little ragtag army had not managed to capture Vincennes and Kaskaskia. The United States would have had little claim to all that territory that now constitutes the bulk of the American Midwest. said Dr. Robert Archibald.
The Missouri History museum now houses the largest collection of George Rogers Clark papers in America. This includes fascinating items like this letter from Patrick Henry, a list of prisoners captured at Vincennes and even this list of provisions Clark ordered for Kaskasia. This includes seven barrels of wine and brandy.
Unfortunately George Rogers Clark was forced to resign from the military before the age of 30. He resigned after accusations he was drunk on duty.
Eventually he went broke and had to rely on help from his famous brother to get by. He spent the last years of his life living alone in a log cabin along the Ohio river.
Vincennes, Indiana
The city of Vincennes is rich in history. As the oldest city in Indiana, previously a French fur trading post, Vincennes has been at the forefront of the development of Indiana and the Midwest.
Founded in 1732, it was George Rogers Clark and his small army who took the largest land conquest in the revolutionary war away from the British in 1779. Greatly disadvantaged in number of troops compared to those inside Fort Sackville, Clark relied on the marksmanship of his troops and the ability to convince the British of a larger army to win the fort. Today, the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park in Vincennes is the site of the largest Memorial Monument west of Washington, D.C. which honors the heroic accomplishments of Colonel Clark and his men. The City of Vincennes is one of only 3 communities in the entire state of Indiana with a National Park within our city limits.
In 1800, the Indiana Territory was formed and Vincennes, nestled along the Wabash River, became its capitol. William Henry Harrison became its first governor and then went on to become the United States ninth president. Grouseland, the home he built and the first brick home in the territory, still stands today and is open for tours daily.
Vincennes was at the heart of many of Indiana`s firsts including site of the first Catholic church in Indiana, first county, first newspaper, first Presbyterian church, first Masonic Lodge, first bank and first medical society.
In 1801, the Jefferson Academy was founded. Eventually becoming known as Vincennes University, this is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in the United States.
Vincennes history is also rich in architecture. Many French influenced homes and buildings dot the city. Many of the buildings are built not only around pre-1900s but also closer to the beginning of the 1800s. For instance the Indiana Territorial Capitol Building, considered the oldest major government building in the Midwest, was built in 1805 as a tailor shop. Visit the Vincennes Convention and Visitors Bureau for more information.
