About this listen

 Dive into the remarkable yet brief life of the 20th U.S. President, James A. Garfield. Raised by his widowed mother and elder brother on a modest Ohio farm, Garfields journey to the presidency is one of resilience and ambition. Elected to Congress in 1862 as the Representative for Ohios 19th District, he later ascended to the Senate in 1880. Tragically, his presidency lasted only 200 days—from March 4, 1881, until September 19, 1881—cut short by an assassins bullet from Charles J. Guiteau on July 2, 1881. Join us as we explore the life and legacy of this often-overlooked leader. (Summary by Wikipedia and wtomcho)
