This is the eulogy delivered by George Barker Little on July 19, 1850, in memory of Zachary Taylor, 12th President of the United States. It offers a perspective on Taylor's life, military career, and brief presidency. Little's oration provides insights into the public perception of Taylor during a tumultuous period in American history, just prior to the Civil War.
The eulogy not only commemorates Taylor but also reflects the political and social climate of the time, providing valuable historical context for understanding the challenges facing the nation in the mid-19th century. It is a significant primary source for anyone studying American political history and the legacy of Zachary Taylor.
