Taylor was the last President to hold slaves while in office, and the last Whig to win a presidential election. Known as "Old Rough and Ready," Taylor had a forty-year military career in the United States Army, serving in the War of 1812, the Black Hawk War, and the Second Seminole War. He achieved fame leading American troops to victory in the Battle of Palo Alto and the Battle of Monterrey during the Mexican–American War.

  • Underground Railroad Route Along El Camino Real De Los Tejas
    Underground Railroad Route Along El Camino Real de las Tejas By Rolonda Teal July 2010 Challenge Cost Share Program National Trails Intermountain Region National Park Service Underground Railroad Route Along El Camino Real de la Tejas Project Background In eastern Texas and western Louisiana, El Camino Real de la Tejas was formed from a series of trails used by Caddo Indians for travel between villages. Spanish colonists took over parts of those existing trails for the transportation of animals, military, civilian and religious personnel as well as supplies. Camino Real translates simply as the “King’s Highway” and continued to be used in this way throughout Spanish dominion. French citizens from Louisiana also used the same paths for illegal and legal trade and as a means of travel to San Antonio to conduct business. After the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, portions of El Camino Real that were associated with the American period became known as the Old San Antonio Road. El Camino Real represents a series of paths that intercepted at various points along a main thoroughfare and not just a single road. In all, the King’s Highway as defined by the National Park Service extends from Monclova, Mexico to Natchitoches, Louisiana and covers approximately 2,400 miles in distance (NPS 1998:1). In 1911 the Texas chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution adopted a resolution calling for formal identification and marking of the historic road. MajorV. N. Zively was hired to survey the route in an attempt to identify original portions of the road. A year later Zively reported that portions of the road could definitely be identified.

  • Bawcomville Recreation Area
    The Northeast Louisiana Delta was once the last bastion of the ivory-billed woodpecker and Louisiana black bear. For a time, agriculture and hardwood timbering took its toll on this lush bottomland of hardwood and cypress-tupelo swamp habitats. The ivory-billed woodpecker may be lost forever, but the Louisiana black bear is making an impressive comeback, thanks to an intensive wildlife conservation program. Hundreds of thousands of acres of abandoned farmland in this region have been purchased and restored to their former forested glory. Come discover Louisiana’s natural beauty! While you’re here, we hope you’ll find time to put down your binoculars and enjoy everything else our state has to offer—our unique music, cuisine, art and history.

Founded 1992 Pamphlet Series Vol. I, No. 1 2006 THE LIFE OF LUIS FATIO PACHECO LAST SURVIVOR OF DADE’S BATTLE By Alcione M. Amos Copyright © 2006 By Alcione M. Amos Frank Laumer Series Editor Seminole Wars Foundation, Inc. 35247 Reynolds St. Dade City, FL 33523 www.seminolewars.us Luis Fatio Pacheco Florida Times Union October 1892 Courtesy of the Library of Congress INTRODUCTION In the course of research on the Seminole Wars, a great deal of information can be found that has not seen the light of day for a century or two. While probing the records in an effort to recreate this period of Florida’s past in all its glory and shame, searching for clarification about an individual or a particular event, it is both rewarding and frustrating to find tantalizing hints of other information relating to the search, information that is pertinent to the subject but the very existence of which was unknown. Frustrating because following every lead would take a lifetime, yet there is no way of knowing where the trails might lead, what treasures of information might be found. As a case in point, this writer, searching the letter book of Captain Francis Belton (in command at Ft. Brooke in December, 1835) for the specific order that sent Major Dade on his doomed march, found a letter from Belton to General Clinch written at 9:00 A.M. on the 23rd, “...two companies have been put in motion this morning at reveille under the command of Bt.

  • Feature Article an Ambitious Monitoring and Restoration Effort At
    Feature Article Fortifying Fort Pike Lieca N. Brown - [email protected] Posted: 01/01/2005 An ambitious monitoring and restoration effort at one of Louisiana’s oldest sites calls for creative supplies. In response to attacks on our nation’s capital and New Orleans, President James Monroe ordered the placement of an extensive coastal defense system following the War of 1812. The seacoast fortifications protected ports along New Orleans and rivers such as the Mississippi. Six new masonry forts were built in coastal Louisiana at that time; Fort Pike was one. Completed in 1826, Fort Pike, which was named after General Zebulon Montgomery Pike, an explorer and soldier, was designed to withstand attack from land or sea. Along with its vital military purpose, the fort was also an impressive architectural structure. Featuring a unique casemate design including narrow exit tunnels, the pie-shaped facility overlooks the Rigolets, a narrow passage between Lake Ponchartrain and the Gulf of Mexico, and houses two pointed bastions (fortified areas) that face the land. The fort originally featured two protective moats around the main structure and a glacis (an embankment designed to expose attackers to defending gunfire) and a covered way between the moats. The fort’s extended functions were varied. It provided housing for many officers and troops along with their service buildings such as bakeries, and merchandise and clothing stores. It also functioned as a staging area for troops en route to Florida, and provided a holding site for prisoners and slaves being transported to Oklahoma in the 1830s. In the 1840s, Fort Pike was a stopover for soldiers bound for Texas and Mexico.
