overseers. But I have not time nor heart to write these things." ~Brig. Gen. James A. Garfield to his wife #OnThisDay in 1862. He was frustrated by not being permitted to liberate enslaved people while moving through the Deep South. He wrote this letter from Alabama. 3/3

We are so grateful & thankful that everyone wants to celebrate the 143rd anniversary of James A. Garfield’s first full day as President of the United States in 1881. But really, calling it “Super Tuesday” isn’t necessary. It’s too much! But thank you, really. #SuperTuesday

A tornado touched down less than a mile from James A. Garfield NHS overnight Thursday/Friday. The site will be closed until further notice. Our staff needs time to clean up and also ensure the park is 100% safe for the public before reopening. We’ll keep everyone posted here.

It feels like we don’t talk enough about James Garfield naming his dog Veto. The American people need to know about this because it’s awesome. #jamesagarfield #jamesagarfieldnhs #thingsthatareawesome #dogs

"The elevation of the negro race from slavery to the full rights of citizenship is the most important political change we have known since the adoption of the Constitution of 1787. NO thoughtful man can fail to appreciate its beneficent effect upon our institutions & people. 1/6

Dear @netflix : Happy #NationalLookAlikeDay ! We know you’ve cast the great @nick_offerman as Chester A. Arthur in “Death by Lightning,” your upcoming series about President James A. Garfield. But can our Ranger Victor at least be Offerman’s stand-in? He’s got the look for sure!

Happy birthday to national treasure Bill Murray, born 9/21/1950. Think this has nothing to do with James Garfield? Well, Murray voiced a certain orange cartoon cat in a couple of movies, and that cat was named for creator Jim Davis's grandfather James A. Garfield Davis. Boom.

We don't usually weigh in on current events. It's not really our place. But things have gotten to a point where we can't be silent any longer. So... James Garfield would be a top-ten president if he'd lived. And "Die Hard" is a Christmas movie. We'll accept any consequences.
