Fox Nation digs into 'The Curse of Tippecanoe' as part of look back at Reagan assassination attempt

As part of a new special presentation: "The Attempted Assassination of Ronald Reagan", narrated by Bret Baier, Fox Nation takes a look into the "Curse of Tippecanoe," an ominous pattern in U.S. history dating back to 1840, that has seen every president elected in a year ending in 0 die in office, be assassinated or be subject of an assassination attempt.

However, the supposed curse dates back to the president with the shortest-lived administration, William Henry Harrison, a Whig born into Virginia aristocracy. Harrison, who had been named governor of the Indiana Territory by President Adams, had engaged in diplomacy with the Shawnee Indians and one of their chiefs, Tecumseh, which later deteriorated.  Harrison made a national name for himself during Tecumseh's War, when in 1811, he defeated a surprise attack from Tecumseh near the Tippecanoe River. That later led to his famed 1840 presidential campaign slogan, "Tippecanoe & Tyler Too".
