Reportedly, Tecumseh's brother, The Prophet, was so distraught over the slaying of his beloved brother that he laid a curse on William Henry Harrison, "and all who follow him." Twenty-seven years later, when Harrison was elected president, he mysteriously died within a month of taking office of complications from a common cold. Harrison was the first American...
