First Spouse Coin and Indian Head Cent Update

Got a promotional e-mail from the US Mint for the First Spouse Gold Coins for Anna Harrison. wife of President William Henry Harrison and grandmother of President Benjamin Harrison. An interesting point about Anna Harrison is that although she was First Lady under William Henry Harrison, she was detained by illness and did not go to Washington, D.C. for the inauguration. Her husband was taken ill, and died exactly thirty days after he was inaugurated. Anna Harrison never entered the White House as First Lady. She was the first woman who received a Presidential Widow Pension.

I'm also working on updates for several Squidoo lenses . . . most notably the Indian Head Cent lens at http://www.squidoo.com/indianheadcent .
