FILE - This print show the inauguration of William Henry Harrison on March 4, 1841. Harrison declined the offer of a closed carriage and rode on horseback to the Capitol, braving cold temperatures and a northeast wind on March 5, 1841. After speaking for more than an hour he returned to the White House, again on horseback, catching a chill that eventually turned to pneumonia. He died a month later. Mother Nature doesn't always frown on presidential inaugurations, but occasional storms have been miserable, even fatal. (AP Photo, files)
