Season 1, Episode 13: Millard Fillmore and Moravia

Millard? Fillmore? President? Learn about Millard Fillmore’s rough and wild youth in Western New York, and his rise in the NY political environs of the first half of the 1800s.

Millard may be nobody’s idea of a “great” president, but his story rivals Abe Lincoln’s for his hard work and determination.
