"Tippecanoe and Tyler, too!" was the rallying cry of the Whig Party during the Presidential campaign of 1840. Everyone remembered "Old Tip," hero of the Battle of Tippecanoe.
His real name was William Henry Harrison, soldier, Indian-fighter, Congressman, and Governor of the Indiana Territory. At Tippecanoe he had defeated the last great Indian confederacy east of the Mississippi.
Now, in the loudest, wildest campaign the nation had known, the hero of Tippecanoe was elected ninth President of the United States.

Reviews
Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too!
Reviewed by Sherry Early
If you have any young readers in your family who are planning on a military career, this biography of William Henry Harrison, one of the Landmark history series, would be a good book to share. If any of them have political ambitions, it might be of interest for them to to read at least the last few chapters of the book in which Harrison runs a political campaign and is elected president. And those of us who are fascinated by language and the history of words and phrases can find in this story of a frontiersman turned statesman, the origin of such American colloquialisms as “keep the ball rolling” and “Long Knives” (for white men) and “OK” and of course, the titular campaign slogan, “Tippecanoe and Tyler, too”.
