----------------------------------------------------------
This is a whole-life biography of the 20th president, James Garfield. Includes bibliography, notes, and index. Also, two appendices: an article Garfield wrote about Congress for the centennial celebration and his inaugural address.
Garfield is pretty much forgotten now. He served as a General in the Civil War, then in the House of Representatives before running for president in 1880. He was marginally involved in the Credit Mobilier scandal. He was shot by an assassin four months into his term and died two months later. At the time, the nation mourned him more than they had for Lincoln, but within a generation was mostly forgotten. |
