EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing the "Letter from James Abram Garfield to his mother" during his final days. The image showcases the handwritten letter penned by Garfield himself, written after he was shot and while he battled for his life. In this heart-wrenching correspondence, Garfield's words reflect both strength and vulnerability as he communicates with his beloved mother. James Abram Garfield, the 20th President of the United States and a Major General in the US Army, tragically succumbed to his wounds two months after being shot. This photograph serves as a testament to his resilience and determination even in the face of imminent death.

Through this photo print, we honor James Abram Garfield's memory and pay tribute to all those who have sacrificed their lives for their country throughout history.
