  • This is a tour around the home of Zachary Taylor, the 12th President of the United States from 1849 to 1950. There is a driving tour to the house, his mausoleum and a 50-foot monument with his statue on top that was built in 1883. This is all located in the Indian Hills area of Louisville, KY. The house is privately owned, so it is not open to the public.

      You are thinking of John Tyler

      We think that you meant to say grandson of President JohnTyler, "Harrison Ruffin Tyler (born November 9, 1928) who is an American chemical engineer, businessman, and preservationist".
      But Harrison (95) is related to President John Tyler (1841-1845) not President Zachary Taylor (1849-1850, his death/murder?).
      Harrison Tyler "has three children: Julia Gardiner Tyler Samaniego (born 1958), Harrison Ruffin Tyler Jr. (born 1960), and William Bouknight Tyler (born 1961)."

      The years simply do not make sense for a “grandson”.

      ​@@WVgirl1959just the fact that Harrison Ruffin Taylor's father was born in 1853 trips me out. My father was born in 1952 lol

    General Zachary Taylor commanded the Army in Florida from 1838 to 1840, after winning fame at the Battle of Okeechobee on Christmas Day, 1837. Coincidentally, Taylor's predecessor commanding in the war was General Thomas Sidney Jesup, who owned Locus Grove, which you also showed in the video.

    Okay I read what somebody said about the cherry pits and other people said about exhuming the body and arsenic. Honestly found that interesting enough to start googling. It's cyanide that if you chew or bruise the pit that you'll get contaminated with. But it closely demonstrates similar as arsenic. So should we add present tailor to the list of assassinated presidents?
    Google said this:
    While cyanide may not be considered a common substance in everyday life, it permeates our lives in ways we may not realize. For instance, the seeds or pits of certain fruits, such as apples, apricots, peaches, pears, and bitter almonds, contain cyanide and should be avoided. Cyanide is also present in raw bamboo shoots and cassava; boiling or cooking them is imperative before consumption. Additionally, natural cyanide is present in tobacco, went on to say smokers had two and a half times the amount that non-smokers have in their blood.

    You’d like my favorite restaurant in the world! A five minute walk from where I live, it’s been in business continuously since 1743 and George Washington was a regular customer. They have a very detailed archive on prominent guests, work and renovations that has taken place to the building over the years, decades, and centuries. And there is just something about that building that I can’t put my finger on - quite aside from making the world’s best dishes, I feel almost spiritually as though I somehow belong in that building. I’m sure I’ll haunt it (but in a good way) someday!

    Zachary Taylor was my 6th cousin a few times removed. Also in my family tree are: George Washington, Chester Arthur, Ulysses S Grant, Franklin D Roosevelt, James Garfield, and the Bushes. A cousin of mine by the name of Beckwith married a descendant of Abraham Lincoln.

    It's fascinating to think that this president would look out his window and probably contemplate a very beautiful woodside area, and probably explore on his horse to unknown woods where he could stop and picnic if he wanted to, or maybe reach a different city with it's own mood. But nowadays it's nothing but little Macmansions neighbourhoods as far as the eye can see .
    Even more fascinating to think that large swathes of the USA nowadays are nothing but that; large spreads of grid neighborhoods and commercial areas with copypaste restaurants, separated by walled suburban motorways and overpasses.
    It's like some kind of hellish landscape built on earth that you can't escape. Only drive and drive and you're still in this suburban version of the backrooms.
    Anyway nice statue 😅😅😅

    Wow thank you for sharing very interesting. I wonder if he swollowed the cherry pit? Those pits are poisonous if eatin in large quantities.

    • @Lifeinthe1800s
      @Lifeinthe1800s  7 месяцев назад

      Yes, interestingly on the Wikipedia they mentioned him eating a lot of cherries and iced milk that day.

    The postmortem tests revealed he was not poisoned as previously thought if I remember correctly.

    • @Lifeinthe1800s
      @Lifeinthe1800s  7 месяцев назад

      Yes true, they exhumed his body back in 1991 and found he did not have arsenic poisoning. I might make another video about this later.
