Garfields enduring legacy and untimely death remembered
A reflection lauds James A. Garfield as a public spirited citizen who rose to national service not for glory but to serve the greatest good. It celebrates his wartime service, scholarship, oratory, and statesmanship, and notes his death yet lasting influence, with calls to honor his memory among the nineteenth century’s greats. The piece contrasts grave sites of Washington, Lincoln, and Garfield and ponders how minds might forget troubles, while praising Garfield’s example and patriotism.
