Events › Darrington Book Group - "Destiny of the Republic" by Candice Millard

Join us for book discussion & socializing. For the April 3rd meeting, we will read Destiny of the Republic by Candice Millard.

In this narrative account of the twentieth president's political career, we discover how James A. Garfield was one of the most extraordinary men ever elected president. Born into abject poverty, he rose to become a wunderkind scholar, a Civil War hero, and a renowned and admired reformist congressman. Nominated for president against his will, he engaged in a fierce battle with the corrupt political establishment, earning him enemies and a bullet in the back.

Copies of the book will be available at the Darrington Library during the month of March on a first come, first served basis.
