"The Life and Public Service of General Zachary Taylor: An Address by Lincoln" is a historical account written by Abraham Lincoln, delivered as a eulogy for the 11th President of the United States, Zachary Taylor, in the mid-19th century, shortly after Taylor's death in 1850. The book is essentially a transcript of Lincoln’s address, reflecting on Taylor's military career and presidency, emphasizing themes of duty, humility, and the sacrifices of public service. In this poignant eulogy, Lincoln recounts Taylor's life, starting from his upbringing in Virginia, his various military engagements in the War of 1812, and his notable victories during the Mexican-American War, which catapulted him to the presidency. Lincoln praises Taylor’s calm demeanor and steadfast leadership in battle, as well as his loyalty and kindness towards his soldiers. He reflects on the loss of Taylor not just as a leader but as a stabilizing force for the nation, expressing concern over the potential political ramifications of his death. The address culminates in a meditation on mortality, underscored by the lines of the favorite poem, which Lincoln quotes, reinforcing the idea that humility and selflessness in service lead to true honor.
