About this listen
In the debut episode of Beyond Mount Rushmore, we delve into the life and legacy of James A. Garfield, the 20th President of the United States. From his humble beginnings as a canal worker to his meteoric rise in politics, Garfield's story is one of resilience and reform. But his presidency was tragically cut short by an assassin's bullet.
We explore the motivations of Charles J. Guiteau, the delusional office seeker who believed he was destined to change history, and uncover the surprising role Robert Todd Lincoln—son of Abraham Lincoln—played in this fateful chapter of American history.
What led to Garfield's untimely death? And what eerie connection does Robert Todd Lincoln have to not just one, but multiple presidential tragedies? Tune in to uncover the shocking twists that history textbooks often overlook on Beyond Mount Rushmore.
