| Summary | "The Life and Public Services of James A. Garfield" by E. E. Brown is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life, achievements, and tragic end of James A. Garfield, the twentieth President of the United States, touching upon his humble beginnings, rise in politics, and the deep national mourning following his assassination. Garfield's journey from a log cabin in Ohio to the presidency serves as an inspiring tale of determination, integrity, and faith. At the start of this detailed biography, the tone is set with expressions of deep national sorrow at Garfield's assassination, evoking a sense of collective mourning. The text introduces Garfield's early life, detailing his birth into a modest family, the loss of his father, and the struggles the family faced, which shaped his character. As readers are taken through his formative years, the narrative highlights his thirst for knowledge and the pivotal experiences that led him on a path to become a teacher and, eventually, a significant political figure. Notable themes such as perseverance, hard work, and the importance of moral conviction are established, setting the stage for Garfield's further accomplishments and the impact he had on American society.
