James Abram Garfield (November 19, 1831 – September 19, 1881) was the 20th President of the United States, serving from March 4, 1881, until his assassination later that year. Garfield had served nine terms in the House of Representatives, and had been elected to the Senate before his candidacy for the White House, though he declined the senatorship once he was president-elect. He is the only sitting House member to be elected president.
Garfield was raised in humble circumstances on an Ohio farm by his widowed mother. He worked at various jobs, including on a canal boat, in his youth. Beginning at age 17, he attended several Ohio schools, then studied at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, from which he graduated in 1856. A year later, Garfield entered politics as a Republican. He married Lucretia Rudolph in 1858, and served as a member of the Ohio State Senate (1859–1861). Garfield opposed Confederate secession, served as a major general in the Union Army during the American Civil War, and fought in the battles of Middle Creek, Shiloh, and Chickamauga. He was first elected to Congress in 1862 to represent Ohio's 19th District. Throughout Garfield's extended congressional service after the Civil War, he firmly supported the gold standard and gained a reputation as a skilled orator. Garfield initially agreed with Radical Republican views regarding Reconstruction, but later favored a moderate approach for civil rights enforcement for freedmen.

Shortly after being elected president of the United States, James Garfield was shot by Charles Guiteau. But contrary to what is written in most history books, Garfield didn’t linger and die. He survived. Alexander Graham Bell raced against time to invent the world’s first metal detector to locate the bullet in Garfield’s body so that doctors could safely operate. Despite Bell’s efforts to save Garfield, however, and as never before fully revealed, the interventions of Garfield’s friend and doctor, Dr. D. W. Bliss, brought about the demise of the nation’s twentieth president. But why would a medical doctor engage in such monstrous behavior? Did politics, petty jealousy, or failed aspirations spark the fire inside Bliss that led him down the path of homicide? Rosen proves how d...

Candice Millard, author of the best-selling "Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine & Murder", examines the brief presidency of James A. Garfield and the fallout from his assassination.
James Garfield was not one of the top three contenders for the Repulican Candidate for President. However, following a long and drawn out Republican convention in 1880, Garfield, a former state senator and revered war general, was nominated after 36 rounds of voting, the Party's candidate for President. Garfield went on to win the popular vote by the narrowest of margins. After serving as President only a few months, President Garfield was shot by Charles Guiteau, a mentally ill and unsuccessful applicant for a Presidential appointment. President Garfield would likely have survived the shooting, except for the unsanitary practices of his physicians who refused to believe Lister's findings regarding germs and hygiene. Garfield's assassination marked the beginning of a new era in American po...
Assassination Vacation is a book by Sarah Vowell, published in 2005, in which she travels around the United States researching the assassinations of U.S. Presidents Abraham Lincoln, William McKinley and James Garfield. While most of the book is devoted to facts about the assassinated presidents and the men who would murder them, Vowell intersperses the book with anecdotes of her adventures on her self-proclaimed "pilgrimage" of presidential assassination. An abridged audiobook was released on March 29, 2005. It contained a large cast of readers, and original music was composed by Michael Giacchino. In order of appearance, the cast was: Conan O'Brien as Robert Todd Lincoln Eric Bogosian as John Wilkes Booth Stephen King as Abraham Lincoln Dave Eggers as Mike Ryan Catherine Keener as Gretch...

Over the next 10-15 years, however, Garfield's commitment to radicalism softened. Learn more about Garfield's background and his political views on African American rights, treatment of former Confederates, and other important national issues during the Reconstruction period. Historian Todd Arrington examines Garfield's Reconstruction-era political experiences and how they prepared him to run for and serve as President of the United States
Abe Lincoln was the first president murdered by an assassin and John Kennedy was murdered during the television generation--so not surprisingly, they are extremely famous presidents. However, poor old James Garfield and William McKinley weren't so lucky(?) and are pretty much forgotten by most Americans today. It's a shame, especially in the case of Garfield, as he was by most reports a decent and reasonably honest president. This episode of "American Experience" is a two-hour long tribute to the man, his death and the extremely disturbed man who killed him. The episode is pretty typical--with narration, photographs and paintings, recreations using actors as well as experts who give their take on all this. And, it's typical because it's fascinating, very well made and extremely interestin...
My company made this for the PBS series, American Experience. It was a documentary experiment combining a true account of the story with almost complete reenactments. The director, Rocky Collins, attempted to create a style that fit the slower sense of time back then. I think that he, and we, succeeded. But it wasn't very popular on television...
