The Corner

Garfield and Friends

Today’s Between the Covers podcast is with Candice Millard, author of Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine, and the Murder of a President. We discuss the assassination of President Garfield in 1881, why security wasn’t better 16 years after the murder of Lincoln, and why Garfield’s medical treatment was so rotten.

John J. Miller, the national correspondent for National Review and host of its Great Books podcast, is the director of the Dow Journalism Program at Hillsdale College. He is the author of A Gift of Freedom: How the John M. Olin Foundation Changed America.
