James A. Garfield, a man of many roles and accomplishments, left an indelible mark on American history. From his early days as General James Garfield in the US Army to his presidency, he exemplified leadership and dedication. In the black-and-white photograph captured between 1855 and 1865, we see General James Garfield standing tall with confidence. The creator remains unknown, but their lens immortalized this moment of bravery. Another image from between 1865 and 1880 showcases President James A. Garfield with his daughter by his side. Their bond is evident as they share a tender moment together, reminding us that even leaders have families to cherish. Garfield's wife, Mrs. James Garfield, also had her own presence in history. An unidentified artist captured her beauty in a picture taken between 1870 and 1880; her elegance shines through time. A portrait of President James A. Garfield himself reveals a man who exuded strength and determination during his tenure from 1870 to 1880. Though the creator remains unknown like so many others before him, this image serves as a reminder of the impact he made on our nation. Tragedy struck when an engraving depicts President Garfield lying wounded in his room at the White House after an attempted murder took place—an event that shook the entire country's core. Political cartoons such as "It Makes Him Sick" by Joseph Keppler published in August 18th, 1880 showcased public sentiment towards political corruption during that era—a testament to how deeply ingrained these issues were within society at large. The quilt featuring both Garfield and Arthur symbolizes unity amidst political differences—a powerful message conveyed through Annie Ensminger Kready's creation around Pennsylvania circa 1880. Even after his passing on July fourth of eighteen eighty-one due to injuries sustained from Charles Julius Guiteau's assassination attempt earlier that year, Garfield's legacy lived on.
