Book Overview

Charles Guiteau, best-known for being the assassin whose bullet led to the death of President James A. Garfield in 1881, had, prior to that occasion, written a book on the second coming of Jesus Christ, called "The Truth." It is said that he plagiarized most of the material from Noyes, but that it also expressed Guiteau's theological beliefs isn't denied. A look at the titles of Part One of this book will give you some insight into his thoughts on the issue.

After his conviction of murdering the President, he tried to drum up financial support for an appeal by re-releasing The Truth, and accompanying it with a second section on "The Removal" of Garfield. For the person interested in American history, this section is fascinating, especially the newspaper reports that state that the assassination of the President actually saved the United States from engaging in a planned war with Chile.

In preparing this work, we have modernized the spelling, corrected typographical errors, updated the formatting for Bible references ("ii, 24" is now "2:24"), and given the whole book a visual facelift.

We are publishing this book because we like American history and religious history-and this one has both, as Guiteau (and others) believed that assassinating the only U.S. President who had also been a preacher was something God wanted done.

We believe you will find it interesting as well.
