Presidents and First Ladies Trivia

[Laurie Verge]

Joan Chaconas, a staff member here at Surratt House, was just praising a book this morning that she had finished reading last night about James A. Garfield. Entitled Dark Horse: The Surprise Election and Political Murder of President James A. Garfield, it was written by Kenneth Ackerman and published in 2011.

Joan expected the book to be dry and uninteresting, but found that she couldn't put it down. This man had a very "interesting" life and an unfortunate end -- which was excruciating.
