_ "I accept with gratitude and pleasure your gift of this inestimable Volume. It was for the love of the truths of this great Book that our fathers abandoned their native shores for the wilderness. Animated by its lofty principles they toiled and suffered till the desert blossomed as a rose. The same truths sustained them in their resolutions to become a free nation; and guided by the wisdom of this Book they founded a government."

— Zachary Taylor, acknowledging the gift of a Bible from the Ladies of Frankfurt, Ky., Feb. 21, 1849
