Dear Fellow Historians,
We've just published the latest entry in the Correspondence of Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore's blog. This one, on "Taylor, Fillmore, and the Constitution," comes just in time for Constitution Day. I hope you enjoy reading what these future presidents wrote (or didn't write) about the founding document.

With best wishes to all,

Fellow historians, the newest blog entry for the Correspondence of Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore is up: "Independence Day and Summer Travel." This one gets into both how Fillmore spent the holiday and recent conference conversations among documentary editors.

Have a lovely holiday weekend!

I have looked for years for a definitive description as to what kind of great amalgamated multi-tribal reservation (or something like a reserervation?) the Indian Office and Congress were sure was going to come into being in the north, to echo the federal project for relocating southern tribes west of the Mississippi farther south. This evolving plan was probably in effect in the late 1830s until the scheduled Ojibwe, Menomonee, and Stockbridge Oneida removals from Wisconsin vaporized 1847-1853. An attempted treaty was negotiated in 1843 with the Dakota by Wisc. Terr. Gov.
What a nice boost this quiz game set of moments was for history buffs and for the Taylor-Fillmore project! Good job!

Dear Fellow Historians,
The latest blog post from the Correspondence of Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore discusses how documentary editors locate the primary sources that they publish. Our hope is that students will find this helpful in understanding the day-to-day process of one type of historical work.
