[PAR] [TLE] Fort Quitman [SEP] Fort Quitman was a United States Army installation on the Rio Grande in Texas, south of present-day Sierra Blanca, 20 miles southeast of McNary in southern Hudspeth County.  The fort, now a ghost town, was named for Mississippi Governor John A. Quitman, who served as a major general under Zachary Taylor during the Mexican-American War. [PAR] [TLE] Zachary Taylor [SEP] Zachary Taylor (November 24, 1784 – July 9, 1850) was the 12th President of the United States, serving from March 1849 until his death in July 1850.  Before his presidency, Taylor was a career officer in the United States Army, rising to the rank of major general.  Taylor's status as a national hero as a result of his victories in the Mexican–American War won him election to the White House despite his vague political beliefs.  His top priority as president was preserving the Union, but he died sixteen months into his term, before making any progress on the status of slavery, which had been inflaming tensions in Congress.  He is the first and only President to come from Louisiana.
