The 12th President of the United States

The future 12th President of the United States lived in Green Bay? Thats right...Major Zachary Taylor was commandant of Fort Howard in 1817. Fort Howard stood where what is now the Leicht Park area on Green Bays West side along the Fox River. I wonder if any of the 500 troops he commanded voted for him?   Wierd ironic fact... it is believed Zachary died in Washington DC after drinking a bowl of milk. Maybe he aquired a penchant for milk from living in Wisconsin? If you'd like to read more intereting facts about Zachary Taylor click the following link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zachary_Taylor
