Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from From Canal Boy to President: Or the Boyhood and Manhood of James A. Garfield I I am asked why i add to the numerous lives of our dead President, I answer, in the words of Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, because "our annals afford no such incentive to youth as does his life, and it will become one of the Republic´s household stories." I have conceived, therefore, that a biography, written with a view to interest young people in the facts of his great career, would be a praise-worthy undertaking. The biography of General Garfield, however imperfectly executed, can not but be profitable to the reader. In this story, which I have made as attractive as I am able, I make no claim to originality.
