Benjamin Harrison (1833-1901) was the 23rd president of the United States, serving from 1889 to 1893. He was a member of the Harrison family of Virginia — a grandson of the ninth president, William Henry Harrison, and a great-grandson of Benjamin Harrison V, a Founding Father. A Union Army veteran and a Republican, he defeated incumbent Grover Cleveland to win the presidency in 1888. He was defeated by Cleveland in 1892, becoming the first president to be succeeded in office by his predecessor.
