Features: In our historical records, there are no deeds as inspiring and uplifting to the youth as his life. His legendary life should and must become a household name, known to all. — [US] David Herbert Donald
If someone asks me why I still need to write a book about our late president, knowing that there are already countless biographies about him, I would answer in David Herbert Donald’s words, because “In our historical records, there are no deeds as inspiring and uplifting to the youth as his life. His legendary life should and must become a household name, known to all.”
Therefore, based on a commitment to historical facts, I have written this biography of President Garfield’s great life in a way that will capture the strong interest of young readers. I believe such a biography will certainly receive widespread popularity and acclaim. General Garfield’s life is so remarkable that it will not lose its brilliance due to any shortcomings in the author’s writing. Readers will undoubtedly benefit greatly from it.
