"Speeches of Benjamin Harrison, Twenty-third President of the United States" is a historical account detailing a comprehensive collection of public addresses delivered by Benjamin Harrison between 1888 and 1892. Compiled by Charles Hedges, this collection captures the essence of Harrison’s political oratory during a significant period in American history, particularly in the late 19th century. The speeches include campaign addresses, his inaugural address, and messages to Congress, and they reflect his views on critical issues like American industry and democratic principles. At the start of the collection, the preface sets the stage for the reader, emphasizing the purpose of the compilation: to present a realistic portrayal of Harrison through his speeches rather than polished oratories crafted for specific occasions. It discusses the themes of patriotism and statesmanship that permeate Harrison's addresses, showcasing his ability to connect with various audiences, from laborers to political figures. The opening portion also foreshadows significant topics Harrison will tackle, highlighting the prevailing political climate, including issues related to vote suppression in the South and the protection of American industries, indicating the challenges and triumphs he faced during his presidency and campaign.
