Join me this week as I dive into the life and career of Millard Fillmore.
The second "accidental president," Fillmore ascended to the office after the passing of Zachary Taylor. The two men, who had no relationship before Taylor's death, proved to have very different opinions on the issue of the day.
Fillmore is considered by many to be one of the worst presidents in history. Tune in to find out why.

The Fillmore Women

•13m
Some presidential wives are more well known than others. Throughout the nineteenth century, there are a string of women who did not leave as lasting an impact to the role of First Lady or a voluminous set of journals and letters for historians to mine to craft a narrative of their lives. Abigail Powers Fillmore is one such presidential spouse. Even less is known about Fillmore's second wife, the wealthy widow Caroline McIntosh.
Though the record may be scant, what we do know about Abigail Powers Fillmore is fascinating and worth exploring. Join me this week as I dive into the life of Abigail Fillmore, Mary Fillmore, and Caroline McIntosh.
