Nate: Mrs. Godfrey, can't I write about a different President instead of John Tyler? Nate: I've read everything about the guy, and he's just not all that interesting! Mrs. Godfrey: Then it's your job as a writer to MAKE him interesting!
John Tyler was interesting. He was a political moron who had all parties howling for his head, but managed a last minute deal to make Texas part of the USA on the very last days of his ofiice. He survived a terrible shipboard accident alongside his bride to be, when his father in law to be was killed in the same incident. Tyler proved himself a bottomless sperm bank who produced 15 children over his lifetime, and finished his days as a passive petty traitor to the country he had once been leader of.
