The book includes addresses from Blaine himself, as well as from other notable figures such as Robert Todd Lincoln, the son of Abraham Lincoln, and John Sherman, Garfield's Secretary of the Treasury. The speeches cover a range of topics, including Garfield's personal character, his political achievements, and his impact on the nation.Overall, James A. Garfield: Memorial Addresses provides a comprehensive look at the life and accomplishments of one of America's lesser-known presidents, and serves as a fitting tribute to a man whose time in office was cut tragically short.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
