Illustration: An 1840 Whig campaign print showing William Henry Harrison greeting a wounded veteran.  The cabin flies an American flag with the words "Harrison and Tyler."  The caption reads:  "This log cabin was the first building erected on the North Bend of the beautiful Ohio River, with the barrel of cider outside and the door always open to the traveler.  The wounded soldier is one of Gen. Harrison's comrades meeting him after his celebrated victory at Tippecanoe, and not only does the brave hero give his comrade a hearty welcome, but his dog recognizes him as an old acquaintance and repeats the welcome by a cordial shake of his tail.  If the looker-on will only watch close enough and the picture is held due east and west, he can feel the power of the magnetic attraction of the Great West."  (A reference to Harrison's support in the western part of the country.)
