The James A. Garfield Mausoleum
Underneath the dome, is this lifesize statue of President James A. Garfield (1831-1881)
Up to 1881, Garfield was only the second US president to be assassinated, Abraham Linclon being the first in 1865. The wound in the President's back was probed and enlarged by physicians with unwashed hands and unsterile instruments and probably contributed to his eventual death. A similar wound today most likely would not be fatal.
