Presidential Series with Heather Rodgers - Zachary Taylor (Online)

Friday, December 11, 2026 10:30—11:30 AM Online Welcome to our yearlong series in which “America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler”, Heather Rogers, shares facts, factoids, and fun illustrations about the presidents of these United States. We'll start off at the beginning with George Washington and get right through to Zachary Taylor! And, our final president for this year: Zachary Taylor: An opponent said his resume involved only “sleeping forty years in the woods and cultivating moss on the calves of his legs.” Jefferson Davis was his son-in-law (despite his wishes). He was the last president to endure bloodletting. For more information on the series, click here. This will be a monthly series meeting on the 2nd Friday each month.  Please register for the Zoom link here! About Heather: Heather Rogers isn’t a historian, an academic, or an impartial storyteller… but she has read more than one book about every U.S. president. Out of spite. She was dubbed “America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler” by one of her favorite biographers and she’s been repeating it ever since. When she’s not reading or doodling history books, she’s a freelance graphic designer, illustrator, and content creator. This program is made possible by the generous sponsorship of the Friends of the Thomas Crane Public Library.
