Our Martyred President is a biography of James A. Garfield, the 20th President of the United States, written by James D. McCabe. The book covers Garfield's life and public service, from his humble beginnings in Ohio to his rise to the presidency. McCabe details Garfield's career as a lawyer, educator, and military leader, as well as his political career, including his time in Congress and his election to the presidency in 1880.The book also includes a detailed account of Garfield's assassination in 1881, which occurred just months after he took office. McCabe provides a thorough examination of the events leading up to the assassination, the shooting itself, and the aftermath, including Garfield's long and painful struggle to recover from his wounds and the eventual death that resulted from medical malpractice.Throughout the book, McCabe paints a portrait of Garfield as a dedicated public servant who was committed to advancing the interests of his country and his fellow citizens. He also explores the political and social climate of the time, including the issues of civil rights, labor relations, and the role of government in American society.Our Martyred President is a comprehensive and engaging biography of one of America's most fascinating presidents, and a gripping account of a tragic and pivotal moment in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
