Book Club Destiny of the Republic

Come join our Book Club!

This month, we’re reading “Destiny of the Republic: a tale of madness, medicine and the murder of a president,” by Candice Millard

“James Abram Garfield was one of the most extraordinary men ever elected president. Born into abject poverty, he rose to become a wunderkind scholar, a Civil War hero, a renowned congressman, and a reluctant presidential candidate who took on the nation’s corrupt political establishment. But four months after Garfield’s inauguration in 1881, he was shot in the back by a deranged office-seeker named Charles Guiteau. Garfield survived the attack, but become the object of bitter, behind-the-scenes struggles for power—over his administration, over the nation’s future, and, hauntingly, over his medical care.

….The Destiny of the Republic brings alive a forgotten chapter of U.S. history.”
