I've visited Peru a number of times and I recall being told that it was Millard Fillmore. Guano was a big deal at the time because of it's importance to agriculture. Don't know about today.

Good guess, Roger, but actually this was from the lips of a previous President.

Quick answer and absolutely correct, Anita.
Let's try this question - which should send most of you to your list of Presidents:
Which Presidents have only one syllable in their last name?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 03-25-2017 05:08 PM
Trump, Bush, Bush, Ford, Taft, Hayes, Grant, Pierce, Polk
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - L Verge - 03-25-2017 05:15 PM
Darn! I thought it would take longer than that -- and I was counting on everyone forgetting about the present Prez. Good job, you old history teacher, you.
Here's another one: Which President is the only one to have Roman numerals on his grave marker?

Don't know about today.At least it was still a big deal with our Latin teacher. His classroom looked like a jungle and he never failed to praise the penguins' digestive leftovers.
(No clue as for your question, Laurie, as I'd first think of someone Roman-Catholic, but I know it wasn't JFK.)
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 03-26-2017 08:46 AM
I have no clue. Warren Harding?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - L Verge - 03-26-2017 11:26 AM
Sorry, Roger, not Harding. Clue #1 - an earlier American President.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 03-26-2017 03:18 PM
John Adams.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 03-26-2017 03:48 PM
I'd think some of the less "prominent" ones - Pierce or Fillmore?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - L Verge - 03-26-2017 06:54 PM
Good guesses both of you, but not correct. Hint #2 - The number of numerals in the full Roman numeral on the gravestone will tell you which President he was. There are four.

XVII - Andrew Johnson, the 17th President.

Another good guess, but not correct. Keep eliminating via considering the number of times four Roman numerals are used to give an actual number.

Grover Cleveland - 22nd President - XXII
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - L Verge - 03-27-2017 03:48 PM
Nope. Check more towards the beginnings of our country.
Another clue: Kinderhook
