- We visited the monument and grave of President and Major General Zachary Taylor, in Louisville, Kentucky. Zachary Taylor was a career soldier and gave almost his entire life in service to his country. He served most of his career on the western frontier of the United States and took part in the Northwest Indian Wars, Black Hawk's War and the Seminole Wars before getting called to first in the Mexican War.
He had zero political experience but was urged to run for President of the United States. He refused to take the oath of office on the assigned day because it was the sabbath which gave power to the only man who has had it for one day. President Zachary Taylor died in office and his death is a mystery to this day. His main goal during his Presidency was the preservation of the Union.
Taylor was technically kidnapped on his journey to take office as President and another interesting fact about him is that the eventual President of the Confederate States of American Jefferson Davis served under Taylor and resigned so that he could marry Taylor's daughter.
Zachary Taylor lived a amazing life and is forgotten by most Americans today. We aim to help keep his legacy alive. Hear his epic story in this video!

My 7th great-grandparent was Richard Lee. Thanks for telling his achievements 🙌
It’s amazing how unknown he is.
When his daughter married Jefferson Davis, Taylor refused to attend the wedding or allow it to be held in his house. So the wedding was held in the home of his sister, Elizabeth, about a mile away from the Taylor home. That house later burned down but a new house exists on the site. The modern address - interesting in light of Davis' later life - is 2 Rebel Road in Louisville. Taylor's home still exists and has a current address of 5608 Apache Rd in Louisville.
Jefferson Davis so loved Sarah Knox Taylor that when he married Varena Howell in 1845, he took his new bride to visit Knoxie's grave.
Wow, great stuff, thanks for the info!
I have visited Taylor's grave. It is located in a unique place in Louisville. His first wife is buried in a cemetery on private property in St. Francisville, LA. Great video!
Thank you ma’am! We should have mentioned that. Always things we see after the fact. 😬
Great video Russ. Old rough an Ready, what a man. Yes he did give it his all no matter what, where,when, or why he was ready to go to battle. If it was defending his country/freedom or his politics he was ready for battle. Again, great video Russ. You do a great job. Have a great weekend an keep warm. Catch ya on your next adventure. 😁👍👍
Thank you sir! He is an American that do few know about these days even though he was very well known for most of the early 1800s. I’ll be warm sir, headed to the Dominican Republic in just a few days!
@@familytreenutshistorygenealogy Safe travels. 😁👍
My 1x5 cousin President Zachary Taylor.Thank you for this detailed documentary. Col. Richard Lee Taylor is my 4th great grand uncle
Really cool! He was one heck of a man!
Awesome Video, Russ.
Thank you sir! It won’t be a popular as others but it is an amazing story just the same.
Great Video. I have been to Zachary's Birthplace Montebello. Zachary was a 4th Cousin to my Ancestor Alice Thornton Lewis Meriwether Davis. Zachary's Brother Hancock Taylor would marry a 1st Cousin of Alice's Annah Lewis
Thanks for you support! That quite a connection that you have there!
He was my great great great grandfather on my mother's side of the family
Wow! That’s pretty close and quite a name to be connected to!
You always do a great job with your videos! I am still considering doing the Massacre Story of the Colored Soldiers in Simpsonville.
Ya that one is definitely on the list.
I love being named after the 12th president . Nobody has never forgotten the 12th president .I’ve been told he is my 4 great grandfather .
Oh wow! Have you traced your family tree?
@@familytreenutshistorygenealogy want to help me
@@zacharytaylor8435 Well to chase that one line should be fast and easy. Would just need some names and dates of your direct males as far as you know.
@@familytreenutshistorygenealogy how can I get in touch with you directly . I don’t want to share info on here
Very interesting, so ironic that after all he went through it was Cherry Ice Cream supposedly that got him in the end. I would expect the Cancel Culture Crowd to go after his name next if they haven’t already
I actually hadn’t thought of that as far as him living through so much but met his end from ice cream.
I love these videos. But with him being a slave owner, plantation owner, I can see it now tear it down. People are crazy. That said, I went to the Heritage about 2 yrs ago, Andrew Jackson's home. It runs by the interstate at the back of the graveyard. People were coming over the fence and painting and destroying the place. They had an armed guard there 24/7, they even had a tent in the field as an office til they could get a fence or whatever they did to stop it. But I enjoyed it, keep up the good work
That is so sad! There are so many IGNORNANT people in the world. I liked Andrew Jackson, but I did not like his politics on Native Americans.
@@judypierce7028 True, but he did balance the budget, I really dislike the Indian Removal act
Wow, I hadn’t heard that had happened…
He was a despicable person for many reasons, not only for being a slave owner. He also allowed his troops to commit war crimes during the Mexican American war, especially in the city of Monterrey. He’s far from being someone admirable.
Viva Mexico 🇲🇽 ! viva el caudillo don Antonio López de Santa Anna!
And what happened in the war? Old Rough and Ready shelled him back into Mexico City
@@OldHickoryAndyJackson Too bad he couldn't prevent the Civil War
