Dust Jacket Grade: Binding: Hardcover Leather Publisher: New York: Phillips and HuntEdition: Memorial Edition Stated Print: Synopsis:
This biography chronicles one of the most meteoric and poignant lives in American politics. The narrative traces Garfield\'s incredible journey from a penniless boy born in an Ohio log cabin to a brilliant western college president, a heroic Union Major General in the Civil War, and a powerhouse leader in the House of Representatives. The book captures the high-stakes political drama of the 1880 Republican Convention where Garfield went from a dark horse outsider to the presidential nominee. It deeply explores his short-lived presidency, his vision for civil rights and civil service reform, and the national tragedy of his shooting by a disgruntled office-seeker. Written with the sweeping, dramatic prose characteristic of late 19th-century literature, it stands as a moving tribute to a brilliant, self-made leader whose immense potential was cut short just as his impact on the nation was beginning.
