The thought that the American president survived an assassination only to be undone by his physicians is chilling: James A. Garfield lingered 79 days after being shot, and when the autopsy finally occurred the pathologist found that the bullet was almost beside the point. How did a .442 Webley British Bulldog and a room by the ocean become a political and medical catastrophe?
In this episode, we tell the life of James A. Garfield from his log cabin childhood through his presidency, the motives of Charles J. Guiteau, and the seventy-nine-day decline that followed the shooting - raising the question of whether the doctors, not the assassin, sealed Garfield’s fate.
Person: James Abram Garfield

- Garfield served 17 consecutive years in Congress before becoming president at age 49.
