that is not garfield. garfield was the columnist -- calmest, wisest man in the room. he was a good, kind, honest man who was just trying his best. he was a real person, not consumed by ego and ambition someone who was simply trying to do the right thing. even after 17 years in congress and one of the most ruthless vicious eras of machine politics, garfield never changed. his friends used to marvel at his forbearance even in the face of the most brutal personal attacks, but garfield was incapable of holding a grudge. he used to just shrug and say, i am a hater. although garfield took his presidency very seriously, he had never had what he called presidential fever. in fact he never really ran for any office. people asked him to run and he did, but he would never even campaign. he always made it clear that he was going to follow his own will conscience and convictions and if people didn't agree with him, they shouldn't vote for him. a way when garfield went to the to when garfield went to the republican convention in the summer of 1880, not only was he not a candidate,

after garfield was shot. i was done because first of all i'd never heard the story and secondly, i couldn't understand why bell, who really was at the height of his fame and his power, would turn his life upside down to do this. i mean, he had a family in boston, his wife and his children. his wife was pregnant and they had been planning on going to maine because it was incredibly hot and he had just left them and spend all of this time night and day working on this. so it made me wonder, why would he do that and what was garfield like? when i started to research garfield, i was completely captivated, and i knew i had to tell the story. >> hi candice. how are you? i want to follow in his same thing. i know that you are from a small town in ohio, and are a product of public education. how did you become a inspired to be a writer? >> that is a great question. you know, i didn't ever think i would be a writer. i was a reader. i was a voracious reader. i love to read and i thought it would probably teach, and i g

james garfield appears on a note. this is a gold certificate that has his portrait and there is a mirror image of his portrait on a special kind of national bank note. it is called a brownback note issued in the 1880's. if you know garfield at all, he is known for a couple of things. one is he got assassinated. he had only been in office for seven months and died about 200 days later. for me the most important thing about garfield is that he was the only president that published a mathematic truth in a journal. this is a so-called trapezoidal proof of the pythagorean theorem. this was published in the journal of education back in 1876. garfield is on a bank note. graham is also on several different banknotes. here we have benjamin harrison you don't often hear about great he was actually the grandson of william harry harrison and he served as president. he split the term of grover cleveland. the sherman antitrust act was passed under his administration. he is not particularly well known in this day. if you look at sch

the woman keeps a diary and when garfield's assassinated in 1981, i'm not sure i can explain this, shes devastated, utterly devastated. she writes about it in the same way she wrote about lincoln although minus the politics of slavery and civil war. but she does not even mention abraham lincoln. someone you will see, if you read the book, i followed her through the whole story because she wrote so much about lincoln. there is a sense of at the immediate moment, i think garfield and mckinley were devastating events, but they didn't have the legacies that lincoln and kennedy had, partly because they were not -- although garfield was a very good president, they were not understood to be the kind of great statesman that lincoln and kennedy were understood to be. thank you. >> talking about people's feelings, i just wonder if you can tell 150 years ago about lincoln's assassination, we said 100 years later, we had the kennedy assassination and how people feel and also how they address the issues because the cause of the assassination may be freedom and justice and peace, could you give us a

it's a wonderful book about the assassination of james garfield. robert todd lincoln told the stream to president garfield during the final cabinet meeting in 1881, two days before he was assassinated. what irony. you can't get more than that. a historian appropriated it for their own book. don't buy that book. wait for mine to come out. it [laughter] is the story true? i think we should be hesitant to take such a fantastical story. it should because for concern. the account was first published in 1887, 22 years after lincoln died. it appeared in recollections of abraham lincoln, published in 1895. laman claimed that it came from notes made in 1865. scholars have treated the story with some reservation. david donald said he was highly unreliable in some accounts while a stanford historian claims that more than a little of his quotation of lincoln was invented it. he demolishes laman's credibility of the funeral dream. the timing doesn't make any sense. it there are a few ways that he points this out. laman" lincoln as saying he was waiting for disp
