James A. Garfield is one of America’s most forgotten presidents. Yet behind his tragically brief presidency was one of the most brilliant and remarkable men ever to occupy the White House.

Born into poverty, Garfield rose to become a scholar, Civil War general, congressman, and president. Along the way, he helped revolutionize American politics with his pioneering “front porch campaign,” drawing thousands to his Ohio home in 1880.

In this episode, Jenn Bennie, co-host of Talk With History and co-creator of Walk With History, joins us to explore Garfield’s extraordinary intellect, remarkable career, and unlikely rise to the presidency.
