There is a phenomenon called the "Butterfly Effect," which posits that the flapping of a butterfly's wings can create atmospheric changes that cause a chain reaction - ultimately influencing events that seem unrelated to the butterfly's flapping wings. Here's my "effect." Had our 12th president, Zachary Taylor, not died this week (July 9) in 1850, I would not be alive. Here's why:

• Zachary Taylor Comes Alive

In the Mexican War he won major victories at Monterrey and Buena Vista, making him a national hero. He also spent a quarter-century policing the frontier. Despite the formal engravings of him, [Zachary Taylor] was usually disheveled and became known as "Old Rough and Ready" for his homespun ways. The White House's Web site on the presidents says of Taylor: "[He] tried to run his administration in the same rule-of-thumb fashion with which he had fought Indians. Taylor's presidency foundered on whether his administration should allow slavery to spread to the present-day states of California, New Mexico and Utah, just recently won from Mexico. His sudden death put Vice President Millard Fillmore into the White House, who promptly threw his support behind the Compromise of 1850, canceling ...

• Gold Rush Launched Some Successes; Many Lost, but It Added Fortunes to Suppliers

Of all of the effects that the California Gold Rush of 1849 had on the young United States, the gold that was discovered during this two-year phenomenon was probably the least significant. Indeed, when a ranch hand named James Marshall discovered gold this week in 1848 near the sawmill on John Sutter's California ranch, he set in motion a phenomenon that would ruin more lives than it would benefit, starting with John Sutter himself.
