HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY
SHELDON FUND
JULY 10, 1940

Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1881, by J. B. McClure & R. S. Rhodes,

In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington.

A new interest now attaches to every incident, and story, and everything that entered into and made up the great life of the immortal Garfield. This volume presents, in an exceedingly interesting manner, all the essential points in the life of the martyred President, including that seemingly saddest of all events, his assassination, over which, it is said, three hundred millions of people mourned. Near the close of the volume will be found the final funeral service on the great Memorial Day," an event unparralleled in the history of man.
