David Rice Atchison
President Atchison?
Was he really a President?
David Rice Atchison was President for 1 day, between the administrations of President Polk and President Taylor. James Polk's job ended on Sunday, March 4th 1849. But Taylor was a religious man and was not sworn in until Monday. Atchison was the highest ranking Senate member, so he was in charge of the country that day.
Jefferson Davis
Jefferson Davis was the President of the Confederate States of America from two weeks after the seccession of the Confederacy in 1861 to the last day of the Civil War in 1865. He was stripped of citizenship until 1978, after a 2/3rds majority in Congress was reached on a proposed bill, and then President Jimmy Carter signed it. The states of Alabama and Florida celebrate his birthday as a legal holiday. Alabama celebrates it on the 1st of June, Florida celebrates it on June 3rd, and Mississippi celebrates it in conjunction with Memorial Day. He was inducted into the Kappa Sigma Fraternity at the University of Arkansas (XI Chapter) after Jefferson Davis, Jr. died of yellow fever in 1878. Jefferson Davis County, Mississippi was named for him. Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana; Jeff Davis Counties in Texas and Georgia were named for him.

Richard Henry Lee
The Story
When they said it was located in "Burnt House Field Cemetery", they weren't lying. The small cemetery was literally a brick enclosure in the middle of a field, which we thought was funny. Despite our trouble finding it, and the sketchy nature of the location, we did manage to pull up right after 11:00 AM and visit the grave of this great American Patriot.

The Story
By 3:30, having been there since around 2:00, I walked over to the Bruton Parish Church to see the grave of Cyrus Griffin. The pastor of the church was very nice and helped us to find the grave easily, since it is worn from age.

Robert Todd Lincoln
On April 14th, 1865, Robert was invited to attend Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre. He declined. Just before midnight he learned that his father had been shot.
On July 2nd, 1882, Robert was in the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station in Washington, D.C., while wandering arround, he saw a man with a .442 Webley British Bulldog Revolver approach President Garfield, then shoot him.
On September 6th, 1901, at the request of the Presidet, Lincoln attended the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo. On that day in the Temple of Music, on the fair grounds, Leon Czolgosz shot President McKinley with a .32 Caliber Iver Johnson Automatic Revolver.
While invited after this to an event by a President, he declines, noting that, "There is a certain fatality about presidential functions when I am present." But he did attend the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial in 1922 with Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and then-President Warren G. Harding in 1922, (coincidently, Harding died mysteriously in 1923).
