Benjamin Harrison speaks

View Item Record

Description:

The only known recording of President Benjamin Harrison presumably made years after his presidency by Giuseppe Bettini, sometime between 1894 and 1899. This modern recording features a narrator explaining how Harrison's voice was recorded and features the 1814 campaign song of Harrison's grandfather "Old Tippecanoe," President William Henry Harrison, which was resurrected for Benjamin's 1888 campaign. The Library of Congress says only one copy of the recording has been found and is located at the Benjamin Harrison Memorial Home and this recording was made from that recording.
