Learn Something New, Day 17: Presidential Trivia

Thursday, May 17, 2007

Things I didn't know before:

* Zachary Taylor and James Madison were second cousins.

* John Adams was a third cousin to his own wife, Abigail Adams.

* George Washington who commanded the Continental Army as
a four-star general was promoted posthumously to the position of six-star "General of the Armies of Congress" by an order of Jimmy Carter, who felt America's first President should also be America's highest military official.
