TITLE: "Garfield Memorial.  Sorrow of the People of Buenos Ayres for the
Death of General James A. Garfield, Late President of the United States of
America"

Printed in Buenos Ayres - “printed by order of Committee – 1881”.

DISCUSSION: A former Union General in the Civil War, President Garfield
was assassinated by a lunatic, but suffered for some months before
succumbing to his wounds. This very interesting pamphlet expresses the
sorrow of the American community in Buenos Ayres, and describes the
receipt of the news, memorial services, speeches, etc.

DESCRIPTION: Softcover. 6.5"x10", 39 pages.

CONDITION NOTES: Evidently bound into a larger volume at some point and
then removed, leaving excess spine material which extends upward anmd
below the edges of the pamphlet, and leaves a messy cloth band along the
spine; several marginal cover chips (see scan); a very discreet
ex-institutional with a small withdrawal stamp and a faint blindstamp on
the title page; with the ownership signature on the front cover of "Joseph
G. Story, New York".

PRCE: $185.00
