Definitely one of the most underrated men from history that sadly few are familiar with. Thanks so much for keeping his story alive!

My family member (great Uncle's daughter) married a Taylor (Woodrow) in Louisville. I never realized a possible connection to President Taylor. Very interesting and informative video.

Excellent video guys. I think I saw a part two, but I'll have to watch that another day. I have A Failed Vision of Empire: The Collapse of Manifest Destiny, 1845-1872 by Daniel Burge on my goodreads list, but are there any other specific books on Taylor that you all would recommend? Thanks.

[@KentuckyHistoryChannel]

Thank you! We’ll need to defer to Daniel to answer that question.

@@KentuckyHistoryChannel thank you.

James Taylor Jr. settled Newport Kentucky from his fathers land grant. He was Zachary Taylor’s cousin.

Interesting, we’ll need to look into him.
