Wow. Just for the actors alone it looks worth watching.

Looking forward to it. I already have the book in my to read list.

I didn't know much about him other than the way he died, but I have recently become interested in the man for different reasons. I have stumbled upon him while studying different points during the civil war and afterwards. I had no idea he had been one of the stalwarts of the Republican Party of the civil war era and a promising President. He died before he really had a chance to leave a legacy as President.

I hope they don't mess this up the way it sounds like Manhunt/Chasing Lincoln's Killer got messed up. I really enjoy Candice Millard's books.

Can't wait to see a thread about the brief Civil War scene being extremely inaccurate

 

[Bentonville]

I'll watch this. I knew who it's about but I can't thing of Garfield with out seeing lasagna craving yellow and black cat.

Yeah, that was the first thing that came to my mind, but then I thought about it and said, 'Oh, okay.'

I think Garfield should make a great subject for a film. Thanks also for recommending this book, which I'm putting on my reading list!

I'd be interested in seeing what aspect of his Civil War service they would cover. The 22nd Kentucky served under him at Middle Creek and the Cumberland Gap Campaign.

Garfield´s complicated love life should satisfy modern audiences.

Garfield´s complicated love life should satisfy modern audiences.

Only if there's a strong female character

I was wondering what Garfield the cat had to do with the civil war until I realized you meant James Garfield. He's one of the premier what if presidents

Garfield´s complicated love life should satisfy modern audiences.

I didn't know he had a complicated love life. Intriguing.
