Garfield’s Assassination
The president had only been in office for a little more than four months when he was slain by Charles J. Guiteau, a former Marine. Even though he had survived the original attempt, President James A. Garfield died from his injuries a few days later. The majority of people believe that, if he had been shot today, he would have recovered from the infection because he would have received modern medical treatment.
