Few people know much about President James Garfield. And this is understandable. He was inaugurated on March 4, 1881 and died less than 200 days later, the victim of an assassin's bullet. But Garfield was a remarkable man, and his story should be better known. Thankfully, C.W. Goodyear has written an excellent biography to rectify this gap in public knowledge about the man.
