James A. Garfield 20th president (8 jun 1831 ano – 11 out 1881 ano)

Descrição:

Garfield was ambidextrous and could write in Greek with one hand and in Latin with the other at the same time!

He was shot a few months into his presidency by an assassin and died 11 weeks later. Doctors tried using a newly invented metal detector by Andrew Graham Bell to locate the bullet, but the metal bedsprings kept messing up the results, leading the doctors to cut in the wrong places. On top of this, the doctors also introduced bacteria into Garfield’s body with their unsterilized, prying fingers.
