We just completed the manuscript of the first volume of Zachary Taylor\u2019s and Millard Fillmore\u2019s letters. Editors and student contributors transcribed and annotated 376 documents written by or to those powerful but little-known figures in nineteenth-century America. They stretch from 1844, when the United States was preparing to annex Texas, to mid-1848, after it had acquired half of Mexico. Now we will work with the publishers to finalize the print and digital volume. You\u2019ll be able to read the letters, at your library or on your computer, next summer. We thank all who have made this possible, including the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.archives.gov\/nhprc\">NHPRC<\/a>) and our other <a href=\"https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/taylorandfillmore\/sponsors\/\">sponsors<\/a> committed to expanding readers\u2019 access to original historical documents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Two weeks ago, I got to share that good news with the folks at American POTUS. They kindly invited me to join their podcast about US presidents. My conversation with host Alan Lowe about Taylor and Fillmore is now available on the American POTUS <a href=\"https:\/\/americanpotus.org\/episode-information\">website<\/a>, on our <a href=\"https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/taylorandfillmore\/videos\/\">website<\/a>, and pretty much wherever you get your podcasts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, let\u2019s discuss bigger celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_627\" style=\"width: 566px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-627\" class=\"wp-image-627\" src=\"https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/taylorandfillmore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1556\/2025\/06\/Washington-Monument-procession.jpg\" alt=\"lithograph of military and civilian procession in Washington, DC\" width=\"556\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/taylorandfillmore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1556\/2025\/06\/Washington-Monument-procession.jpg 741w, https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/taylorandfillmore\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1556\/2025\/06\/Washington-Monument-procession-300x216.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 556px) 100vw, 556px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-627\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Washington Monument cornerstone-laying procession, lithograph by James S.

All states and territories have established commissions to mark the occasion. At the federal level, Congress created the <a href=\"https:\/\/america250.org\/about-america250\/a250-leadership\/\">US Semiquincentennial Commission<\/a> in 2016, and President Donald J. Trump issued an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/2025\/02\/03\/2025-02231\/celebrating-americas-250th-birthday\">executive order<\/a> creating Task Force 250, with him as chair, this February. Private organizations ranging from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oah.org\/tah\/us-history-at-250\/\">Organization of American Historians<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/theblackamerica250.org\/\">Black America 250<\/a> have assembled educational materials tied to the anniversary. I sit on the Semiquincentennial Committee of the Association for Documentary Editing, which aims to focus attention on key documents from the full span of US history. Commemorations will culminate next summer, when we reach 250 years after the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the meantime, Americans have celebrated other specific anniversaries. This April 19 was the 250th of the Battles of <a href=\"https:\/\/lex250.org\/\">Lexington<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/visitconcord.org\/concord-250\/\">Concord<\/a>, which launched the US Revolution. May 10 was the 250th of the <a href=\"https:\/\/prologue.blogs.archives.gov\/2025\/05\/08\/the-second-continental-congress-convenes\/\">convening<\/a> in Philadelphia of the Second Continental Congress. And this Saturday will be the 250th birthday of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.army.mil\/1775\/\">US Army<\/a>. On June 14, 1775, the Second Continental Congress passed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lineofdeparture.army.mil\/Portals\/144\/PDF\/Journals\/Infantry\/Infantry-Spring-2025\/14%20June%201775.pdf\">resolution<\/a> creating ten companies of riflemen and designating the colonists\u2019 military organization \u201cthe American continental army.\u201d It, under General George Washington\u2019s command, became the official seed of the armed forces in which brave men and women have served their country in the two and a half centuries since.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.army.mil\/1775\/\">festival and parade<\/a> in Washington, DC, will form the centerpiece of the national celebration of the army and of servicepeople past and present. The Association of the United States Army <a href=\"https:\/\/ausa.org\/goarmy250\">will hold<\/a> another parade and related events in Philadelphia. By a historical coincidence, these happen to fall on Flag Day (precisely two years after creating the army, Congress <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/Flag-Day\">adopted<\/a> the Stars and Stripes). By another coincidence, they fall on President Trump\u2019s seventy-ninth birthday (discussion of the commemoration began <a href=\"https:\/\/www.army.mil\/article\/270501\/u_s_army_and_revolutionary_war_250th_commemorations_highlighted_at_ausa\">years ago<\/a>, though the specific plan for a parade emerged <a href=\"https:\/\/abc3340.com\/news\/nation-world\/trump-planning-military-parade-through-dc-for-americas-250th-anniversary-report\">this spring<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">These political and military anniversaries got me thinking\u2014as I tend to do\u2014about Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore. As we\u2019ve worked through their letters, we\u2019ve come across discussions of anniversaries, military tributes, and, yes, parades. This seems a good time to share what types of celebrations they and their correspondents witnessed and what those Americans of an earlier era thought about marking dates on the calendar and honoring soldiers in the field.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">As in the 2020s, Americans in the 1840s celebrated national anniversaries. Although no major ones arose in that decade\u2014the nation\u2019s seventy-fifth did in 1851, but our project hasn\u2019t gotten there yet\u2014Independence Day came each year. I wrote a little about that holiday <a href=\"https:\/\/edspace.american.edu\/taylorandfillmore\/independence-day-and-summer-travel\/\">earlier<\/a> in this blog.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some politicians used July 4 for partisan ends. In 1844, supporters of the Whig Party invited Fillmore to their festivities in Rushford, NY. He <a href=\"https:\/\/nyheritage.contentdm.oclc.org\/digital\/collection\/sunyoswego\/id\/34816\">responded<\/a> that he already had committed to attend an event elsewhere \u201con the anniversary of the Birth day of our nation.\u201d But he took the opportunity, in his response, to equate the colonists who had rejected British rule\u2014known in their time as \u201cwhigs\u201d\u2014with his nineteenth-century party: \u201cThe whig spirit of \u201976 gave us Independence &amp; freedom and the Whig spirit of 1844 must maintain that independence and freedom, or the blood of the Revolution was poured out in vain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fillmore\u2019s letters more often discussed celebrations planned for purely political, not commemorative, purposes. In August 1844, Whigs <a href=\"https:\/\/nyheritage.contentdm.oclc.org\/digital\/collection\/sunyoswego\/id\/34950\">invited<\/a> him to a \u201cMASS CONVENTION\u201d in Seneca Falls, NY. Beginning with a \u201cprocession\u201d complete with \u201cBanners and Music,\u201d it promoted Henry Clay\u2019s candidacy for the White House and the party\u2019s support for a high tariff and opposition to annexing Texas. Four years later, Amos Brown wrote to Fillmore <a href=\"https:\/\/nyheritage.contentdm.oclc.org\/digital\/collection\/sunyoswego\/id\/31214\">recounting<\/a> Democratic presidential nominee Lewis Cass\u2019s arrival home in Detroit. After \u201ctwo brass pieces fireing\u201d at the wharf, where Cass\u2019s steamboat landed, he went to his house with a \u201cpossession [procession] which . . . consisted of a band of music five carriages one buggy and one too horse wagon and betwene one and two hundred fo[o]tmen in al the company about the house encluding locoes [i.e., Democrats] whigs and boys and in the possession there might have been one thousand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Around Taylor, who spent most of this time commanding troops in Texas and Mexico, festivities honored his army. He was not always happy about that. By the end of 1845, as Texas was becoming a state and his forces were defending it against Mexico and Indigenous peoples, he had tired of both the monotonous work and the noisy entertainment. He wrote to his daughter Mary Elizabeth, on December 15, about the \u201cconstant employment . . . what with instruction, mounting guards, reviews &amp;c.\u201d He acknowledged that \u201cfine bands &amp; excellen field music has made the pass tolerably rapidly; but,\u201d he added, \u201call the pomp &amp; parade of such things are lost on me, I now sigh for peace &amp; quiet with my family around me-\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Later, when Taylor returned home as a presidential candidate, he developed mixed feelings about the political festivities to which he was constantly invited. He told Orlando Brown, on March 15, 1848, that he would have enjoyed visiting Kentucky at the state legislature\u2019s invitation, seeing \u201cmany old &amp; long cherished friends, all of whom I should have been delighted to have met.\u201d But he was still an officer in the army (he didn\u2019t resign until three months after his election). He worried that opponents would accuse him of spending his leave of absence \u201ctraveling about the country for eletioneering purposes; I therefore deemed it most prudent to decline all such invitations\u201d (Kentucky Historical Society).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">His reluctance to travel to celebrations, while at least partly rooted in political calculation, may also have accorded with his limited view of the presidency. Candidate Taylor determinedly refused to share his political opinions and argued that even a sitting president\u2019s opinions \u201care neither important nor necessary\u201d (ZT to Unknown, March 29, 1848, in <em>Washington Daily Union<\/em>, October 14, 1848) in a country where Congress took precedence in setting policy. Keeping out of the electoral limelight, perhaps, fit his electoral platform.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Taylor firmly supported, however, honoring the men with whom he served. He may not have loved \u201call the pomp &amp; parade,\u201d but he did not deny it to the officers and soldiers in his army. He also welcomed civilians\u2019 recognition of the hardships that military personnel endured. He often wrote, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loc.gov\/resource\/mss42440.001_0027_0913\/?sp=433\">he did<\/a> to Jefferson Davis on July 27, 1847, of \u201cour young gallant respectable volunteer soldirs, who have volunteered in the cause of their country, who are daily falling victims to the hardships, privations &amp;c common to a soldiers life, &amp; to the diseases that accompany the march . . . under a tropical sun.\u201d He appreciated written expressions of gratitude for their sacrifices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Taylor also gratefully read about the \u201cilluminations\u201d\u2014the lighting up of public and private buildings\u2014organized in US cities to celebrate victories in Mexico. He wrote to Robert C. Wood, likely on June 4, 1847, \u201cThe brilliant illuminations in New Orleans, &amp; elsewhere on acc<sup>t.<\/sup> of the success of our arms, shewes that our Citizens duly appreciate the labors, privations &amp; dangers encounted in the publis servants by those employed by them, which demonstations of respect &amp; gratitude must be consoling in some degree to those who have lost relatives, health &amp; friends during this contest\u201d (Huntington Library). Those visual displays were not overseen by the national government. But Taylor and, presumably, many other officers, soldiers, and family members took heart from the local expressions of understanding and support.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We at the Taylor-Fillmore project have something to celebrate.
