Union General during the Civil War, 23rd US President
Faithful to his supporters among fellow Civil War veterans, he enacted the first major Federal entitlement program in providing Veterans' benefits, and pushed through the highly controversial and protectionist McKinley Tariff. Check of Fletcher's Bank in Indianapolis, Indiana, dated December 7, 1885, for $2.92. Payable to C. E. Shover, the check is made entirely in Harrison's own hand and signed "Benj. Harrison." Very nice example of a full autograph check for a scarce president. $575.00
