Some U.S. history curricula ran into Millard Fillmore — 8th grade in Texas, a few AP courses, perhaps. This blog is getting hit by people looking for “Millard Fillmore’s famous quotes.”
Here’s a word of warning, kids: You’ll probably get bad quotes if you hit the standard sites. The quotes listed on the quote sites and Wikipedia, I would not vouch for, for accuracy.
Instead, take a look at Fillmore’s State of the Union Speeches, and whatever else you can get from the New York State Library, Cornell University Library, or the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society. You’re in an area that historians have not trod, much — which quotes do you think should be Fillmore’s “famous” ones? You get to decide, kids.
Drop a line here, and tell us which ones you listed, will you? This is your chance to write some history worth the reading.
Nota bene: If you need information about Millard Fillmore’s childhood, this source at the Cornell University Library is the best I’ve found — in Fillmore’s own words.
