Former President Harrison recording

reaganwayne: Sorry, this isn't from Harrison's Inaugural address, but recorded years after he left office. You need to amend this upload's title. If unconvinced, read his Inaugural address, then stand corrected. More accurately, this is the earliest President to be recorded. The Vincent Voice Library at Michigan State University, the world's foremost collection of historic recordings, has the official history of this snippet.
Grover Cleveland (conservative limited-government Democrat) was the 1st President to be recorded on a sound device, and later on film (standing at McKinley's 1897 swearing-in, film shot by Edison).

@feeblepizza how so?

@crispy1995 I agree with you since garfield and arthur were presidents later. But i've heard that arthur was recorded on til foil but they don't know what happened to it

You can really tell that he was from Indiana.

I like the stories of the personal lives our past presidents. After his presidency, Harrison actually married the niece of his deceased wife who is 25 years younger than he. They even had children who were now double relations and young enough to be the children to his own. The family was pissed, and didn't attend the wedding. Harrison was a player.

How awesome this is to get to put a voice to President's of the past. You said Clevland was the first to be shown on film, do you have it?

Thank you for the reference to the Vincent Voice Library! I was not aware of it before. What a great resource of our history and culture!

When people get old, their voice sometimes becomes more twangy. I doubt a 20 year old Harrison talked like that.
