Presidents and First Ladies Trivia

[L Verge]

Jackson sounds like a logical President to want early spittoons, especially with his friendship with Sam Houston of western persuasion. Wonder if his French decorator brought them from the continent?

BTW: Just found reference to a more modern use for spittoons. They are now used in the wine industry. Those who test the wines during the process now spit their samples into spittoons rather than consume so much alcohol.
