Book Description

Excerpt from The Republican d104-Book for the Campaign of Full a Full History of General James a Garfield's Public Life: With Other Political Information It is proper to add that the author was strongly solicited by a Chicago firm to write a life of General Garfield. This he would have done, had it not been for the General's desire that he should undertake the present work. It may be further added that the author has known General Garfield intimately for nearly thirty years that he has been a close and interested observer of his life as student, teacher, soldier, and statesman; and that he has spared no pains to make this work, in all that relates to General Garfield's public life, full and authentic. The General himself has materially contributed to this end by furnishing interesting lines of inquiry. However, he is responsible for nothing found in this book, except what is quoted from him in terms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
