Medicine and the Murder of a President

Medicine and the Murder of a President,[url=http://2013woolrichonline.blogspot.com/][b]http://2013woolrichonline.blogspot.com/[/b][/url]
Garfield may not rival Roosevelt's larger-than-life character, but,[url=http://woolrichoutletparka.halod.com/][b]Woolrich Parka men sale[/b][/url], as Millard's meticulous research and anecdotes reveal,[url=http://youthsoccercleatsstore.blogspot.com/][b]youth soccer cleats[/b][/url], he was an admirable figure. For a country still beset by post-Reconstruction disunion, Garfield's integrity and fairness helped to foster a more truly united United States.
Garfield grew up dirt-poor in rural Ohio,[url=http://woolrichoutletonlines.blogspot.com/][b]http://woolrichoutletonlines.blogspot.com/[/b][/url], lost his father before he had reached the age of two,[url=http://giuseppezanottioutletonline.webmium.com/][b]giuseppe zanotti outlet online Guseppe Zanotti Official Sale giuseppe zanotti outlet[/b][/url], and didn't have a pair of shoes until he was four.
Education provided escape from his hardscrabble existence. Garfield worked as a janitor to pay for his classes at a preparatory school and eventually made his way to Williams College in Massachusetts, where he graduated with honors.
Even with such an industrious nature,[url=http://2013woolrichonline.blogspot.com/][b]woolrich online shop deutschland[/b][/url], Garfield hardly seemed destined for the White House. He detoured from an academic career into the Civil War, routing a decorated military opponent in a key battle in Kentucky.
Circumstance, as much as anything,[url=http://kevindurantshoesonlinestore.blogspot.com/][b]kevin durant online[/b][/url], led him to Congress in 1862. And,[url=http://parajumperssalefreeshipping.webmium.com/][b]parajumpers jacket sale[/b][/url], 18 years later,[url=http://duveticacanadashop.halod.com/][b]duvetica jackets canada[/b][/url], he was shocked as anyone when delegates made him the Republican presidential nominee despite his impassioned protests against such a notion.
Humility was more than a pretense with Garfield, who once said, "I so much despise a man who blows his own horn, that I go to the other extreme."
As Millard writes of Garfield's unlikely ascent, "Having never agreed to become even a candidate - on the contrary,[url=http://discountsoccercleatsonline.webmium.com/][b]discount soccer cleats online Footwear Soccer Cleats Soccer Shoes[/b][/url], having vigorously resisted it - he was suddenly the nominee."
The Republican incumbent, Rutherford B. Hayes,[url=http://duveticacanadashop.halod.com/][b]duvetica jackets canada outlet shop duvetica down jackets online sale[/b][/url], frustrated by the spoils system of blatant pay-to-play patronage,[url=http://duveticamen.blogspot.com/][b]http://duveticamen.blogspot.com/[/b][/url], opted against seeking the nomination, but party powerbrokers such as US Senator Roscoe Conkling of New York favored former two-term president Ulysses S. Grant to lead the ticket.
At the 1880 convention in Chicago,[url=http://woolrichoutletparka.halod.com/][b]Woolrich Jacket men sale[/b][/url], Garfield delivered a stirring nomination speech on behalf of John Sherman,[url=http://giuseppezanottimenssneakers.webmium.com/][b]New Fall/Winter 2013 Collection[/b][/url], a Hayes cabinet member longing to be president. Instead of catapulting Sherman to the head of the GOP ticket,[url=http://kevindurantshoesonlinestore.blogspot.com/][b]http://kevindurantshoesonlinestore.blogspot.com/[/b][/url], the speech inspired a successful push to make Garfield the party standard-bearer.
Despite his resistance to the idea ("My name must not be used," he said), Garfield eventually capitulated and went on to defeat Winfield Scott Hancock in the general election.
