Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller This is a remarkable, illuminating debut biography of the 20th President of the United States. As C.W. Goodyear ably demonstrates in this expansive and penetrating work, James Abram Garfield was a pivotal, perceptive leader at a critical, precarious and politically contentious time in our nation’s history. History readers are in for a treat. “An eloquent and moving biography of our twentieth President.” —James M. McPherson, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Battle Cry of Freedom “A meticulously researched reappraisal.” —Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs The first comprehensive biography in decades of the extraordinary, tragic life of America’s twentieth president—James Garfield. In this magisterial biography, C.W. Goodyear charts the life and times of one of the most remarkable Americans ever to win the Presidency. Progressive firebrand and conservative compromiser; Union war hero and founder of the first Department of Education; Supreme Court attorney and abolitionist preacher; mathematician and canalman; crooked election-fixer and clean-government champion; Congressional chieftain and gentleman-farmer; the last president to be born in a log cabin; the second to be assassinated. James Abram Garfield was all these things and more. Over nearly two decades in Congress during a polarized era—Reconstruction and the Gilded Age—Garfield served as a peacemaker in a Republican Party and America defined by divisions. He was elected President to overcome them. He was killed while trying to do so. President Garfield is American history at its finest. It is about an impoverished boy working his way from the frontier to the Presidency; a progressive statesman, trying to raise a more righteous, peaceful Republic out of the ashes of civil war; the tragically imperfect course of that reformation, and the man himself; a martyr-President, whose death succeeded in nudging the country back to cleaner, calmer politics.
