New President James Garfield Campaign!
Although an assassin’s bullet shortened his presidential administration to just six months in 1881, James A. Garfield left an impressive archive of his forty-nine years. Deeply interested in history, Garfield collected and organized his correspondence, sometimes noting “To be preserved” on the back of letters which is reflected in the name of this campaign. Garfield’s correspondence with those in his inner circle recorded his thoughts on his private life and public activities, including the challenges he faced as a self-made man, periods of difficulty in his marriage, national issues he encountered as a member of the United States Congress (and briefly as president), and his abundant intellectual curiosity.
