nelly taft with william howard taft. we'll see that again this time because the ken -- the own -- obamas walked part of the distance, jimmy carter and his wife walked the entire distance. the inaugural parade will take place. a reviewing stand is always set up in the white house, that is glover cleveland back in 1885 and here's the white house in the background. a classic inaugural parade picture. capitol in the background with bands marching. 1953, a fame hall of -- a famouy name monty montana, lassoed with his permission. in 1829 there was a stampede in the white house. a big party there and the people trampled the place, with their muddy bads bads and ripped the t taps taps taps and ripped the carpeting and finally somebody got the brilliant idea of putting a large tub of whiskey on the white house lawn and everyone left. inaugural ball at not. 1952. the kennedys in 1961. george and laura bush, barack and michelle obama. there are party of inauguration history. you can't deny that -- many of us even remember remember

an open carriage and that is william howard taft on the right.the new president, woodrow wilson on the left. in 1933, we had a situation with franklin d roosevelt in herbert hoover. the two of them did not get along so well. there wasn't a lot of conversation during their ride to the capital. many pictures that were taken that day, roosevelt can be seen waving to the crowd or smiling to the crowd for turning toward hoover and trying to have a conversation. but in every picture you ever see hoover is just looking straight ahead ignoring him. there have been other times also where the presidents, new and old did not get along so well. and those i mentioned in my book the chapter is called can't we all get along. sometimes if there is a big issue, here is 1909, that is william howard taft driving together with teddy roosevelt. we can't see them but they are in the carriage. and here is the route they take care that is pennsylvania avenue heading toward the capital. now from 1829, all the way through 1977, which covers the great majority of american

in the first era was in 1909 with president taft. he was the last one that had it here.y the time we got to 1913, which was president wilson, he would have none of it again. he was like john adams. he decided it was too expensive and wanted nothing to do with it. of time thereiod were no balls until we got past world war ii to president nixon. let's go upstairs and taken another look at what this place might look like.

williams: taft realized that if he didn't do something, he was going to get blamed for a huge loss ofanies from the 25th infantry, known as the buffalo soldiers. the town of wallace, idaho, had never seen anything like them. williams: the buffalo soldiers were the first african-american men to serve as peacetime soldiers in the professional army. they served all over the american southwest. they protected railroad workers and fought indians. you name it, they did it. this is the first time they were ever sent to fight a fire. and they're sent to a very white area, almost doubling the black population of the state of idaho. and so when this all-black platoon comes and sets up camp, people scoff at them, people say racist things about them. the newspapers say they play cards and drink all night. they say, "what can a black man possibly know about fighting a fire?" but it turns out, what happened with the buffalo soldiers is a tale that should go down in american military history.

the most snow ever was taft back in 1909. ten inches in d.c. would be like back in 1909. that was in march, that was a little different timing there on the inauguration. as far as the rainfall goes, you can get some soaking rains, but the last time it did rain was when george w. bush was president in 2001, that was a .33 of rain. we are not going to see a lot of rain, but we'll look at a quarter inch developing during the afternoon. temperature of 47 degrees for this unaugust ration. i think the swearing in ceremony will be cloudy and mild. >> let's hope the rain stays away. >>> still ahead, u.s. markets are pointing to higher openings ahead of earnings reports from goldman sachs and citigroup later this morning. we'll look at the stories driving business, next. sometimes when brushing my gums bleed. no big deal. but my hygienist said, it is a big deal. go pro with crest pro health gum protection. it helps prevent gum bleeding by targeting harmful bacteria on your gums. left untreated, these symptoms could lead to more serious problems includin
