Excerpt from Life of President Garfield: The Complete Record of a Wonderful Career, Which, by Native Energy and Untiring Industry, Led Its Hero From Obscurity to the Foremost Position in the American Nation

Garfield began his career in Obscurity and poverty. He had a noble mother, a good constitution, a superior mind, a brave heart, a pure conscience, and an unswerving will. By a conscientious and diligent use of these, he rose from the laborious, manual toil of a farm-hand, a boatman, and a carpenter, to the more congenial, though not less arduous, pursuits of student, teacher, College President, military leader, Congressman, Statesman, President.

His short service as Chief Magistrate of this nation, and the sad scenes of his last days, endeared him to all true hearts. Garfield became the nation's idol, and he is a rare model for the nation's contemplation.

To set forth this wonderful life-story faithfully, clearly and comprehensively, has been the aim in the production of this volume. °contents.
