Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the lives of three US presidents: Washington, Lincoln, and Garfield. The author argues that these men were central figures in three distinct and important phases of the nation's growth. Washington represented national independence, Lincoln represented national unity, and Garfield represented national independence and unity, made stronger and more beautiful for the force of his intellectual grasp, his nobleness of life, and his breadth of culture. The author begins by comparing Garfield to Julius Caesar, contrasting their greatness and legacies. He goes on to discuss the profound impact of Garfield's death, which he believes revealed the nation's deep-seated humanizing influences. The author argues that Garfield's death helped to usher in a new era of American history, one characterized by a greater emphasis on gentleness, sympathy, and a common sorrow. The author concludes by reflecting on the significance of Garfield's life and presidency. He argues that Garfield's legacy lies in his ability to rise from humble beginnings to become a symbol of national unity and progress. Garfield's life and death, the author argues, are a testament to the power of the American dream and the enduring strength of the nation's founding principles.
