Tour Guide Tell All delves into the unlikely stories of Charles Guiteau, a madman struggling to find his place in the world, and James Garfield, a man who worked his way from nothing to become a soldier, a scholar, and a statesman, and how their two lives intersect and end in blood. He had such great ideas, he was so smart, so compassionate and then to have his presidency cut down, to me, is such a tragedy." He's a man who held such promise for the country at a time where we really were on this path, this post-Civil War path of hopefully bringing the country forward. Garfield was one of the most extraordinary men ever elected president.
“Garfield is, I think, one of the greatest tragedies in the American presidency. Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President Candice Millard, 2011 Knopf Doubleday 432 pp.
