Goodyear charts the life and times of one of the most remarkable Americans ever to win the Presidency. Progressive firebrand and conservative compromiser; Union war hero and founder of the first Department of Education; Supreme Court attorney and abolitionist preacher; mathematician and canalman; crooked election-fixed and clean-government champion; Congressional chieftain and gentleman-farmer; the last president to be born in a log cabin; the second to be assassinated. James Abram Garfield was all these things and more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver nearly two decades in Congress during a polarized era--Reconstruction and the Gilded Age--Garfield served as a peacemaker in a Republican Party and America defined by divisions. He was elected to overcome them. He was killed while trying to do so. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePresident Garfield\u003c\/i\u003e is American history at its finest. It is about an impoverished boy working his way from the frontier to the Presidency; a progressive statesman, trying to raise a more righteous, peaceful Republic out of the ashes of civil war; the tragically imperfect course of that reformation, and the man himself; a martyr-President, whose death succeeded in nudging the country back to cleaner, calmer politics.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44070529630253,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_6d009264-0c83-4b71-8838-66f8e82f18b5.jpg?v=1765188248","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/president-garfield-from-radical-to-unifier-1","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
