Thank you, Tom Nichols. Some would say James Garfield was an unsung hero. Thanks to Professor Richardson and her team, we are singing about his heroism today; and rightly so.
These are so impressive. An "amuse bouche" of American history. Amazing how much teaching can be put in a minute. Thanks for this one, something else I didn't know....
