# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in 1833 on an Ohio River farm, Harrison carried a loaded surname: grandson of a president, great-grandson of a Founding Father. He moved to Indianapolis, built a law practice, and led a Presbyterian congregation before the Civil War pulled him into uniform as a Union colonel. The Senate came in 1881, the presidency in 1888 on an Electoral College win that defied the popular tally. His four years delivered the McKinley Tariff, the Sherman Antitrust Act, six new western states, and the first billion-dollar federal budget — spending that helped sink his party in the 1890 midterms. Cleveland reclaimed the White House in 1892, and Harrison returned to Indianapolis. He took one last case in 1899, arguing Venezuela's border claim in Paris, then came home. Influenza killed him in 1901.
