Daguerreotype portrait photo circa 1849 of Zachary Taylor. Taylor (1784 - 1850) was the 12th US President and held office from 1849 to 1850. Prior to his election he was a military leader who had a 40-year career in the US Army and was known as "Old Rough and Ready". He served in the War of 1812, the Black Hawk War and the Second Seminole War before leading American troops to victory in several critical battles during the Mexican-American War (1846 - 1848). Taylor, the first President who had never held any previous elected office, died just 16 months into his term, possibly from gastroenteritis. Photo by Mathew B Brady.
