The Unknown Presidency

His second wife, Julia Gardiner, he met below decks when the "gratis" New York Haddersley Forge built "Peacemaker" cannon exploded upon salute to Washington's Mount Vernon on the Potomac River, aboard the U.S.S. Princeton. It killed her father, Senator Gardiner (the manor/island Gardiner's Island is on the east end of Long Island, NY, granted by the King of Scotland) and two Cabinet members were killed along with others. It was the first "lying in state" in the US Capitol (its "hatbox" replaced later by a dome, for $1 million, by a Bronx, NY firm during the Civil War). Its said she was and still might be the prettiest First Lady, and Gloria Swanson remarked to the last male manor holder, Robert Gardiner, (as seen on "60 Minutes") it would take a Vivian Leigh to play her. President Tyler died in Richmond, VA during its seige, and former First Lady was allowed to travel to New York with her entourage through the temporary cease-fire held between the Blue and the Gray. So he said. The Haddersley Forge was on the west-side of Manhattan under the former proposed "Television City" by Donald Trump. Mr. Gardiner said they used to ride around in coaches like they were royalty, a big fancy looking seal on the side of their carriage. Dug a hole there once, didn't find anything.
