James Garfield delivered his inaugural address on March 4th, 1881. Read by John Greenman. Much like Lincoln’s nearly two decade before him, James Garfield was assassinated. But whereas Lincoln had served a full term, Garfield was granted just a little over six months. He was the iconic “self-made man”, rising from working on a canal boat to the highest office in the land. He supported abolition and black suffrage, though that only went so far. His assassin, Charles Guiteau, committed the heinous act for what amounted to being passed over for a job.
The cover art is an 1881 portrait of James Garfield by Calvin Curtis.
