What Has Changed in the Last Century
The biography of the 20th President stands: born in an Ohio log cabin in 1831, shot in July 1881 and dead in September, one of the shortest presidencies. What has shifted is the verdict on his death, which modern medical historians attribute less to Charles Guiteau's bullet than to the probing and infection inflicted by his doctors over eleven weeks; the bullet itself was never located, despite Alexander Graham Bell's attempt with an induction-balance detector. Harry Augustus Garfield, whom Collier's in 1921 had just returned to Williams College after serving as Wilson's wartime Fuel Administrator, stayed president there until 1934 and died in 1942. Garfield, New Jersey, whose leap from 10,213 to 19,381 people between 1910 and 1920 Collier's recorded, has since roughly reached the low 30,000s, but the woolen and knitting mills that drove that boom are gone.
