The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The assassin was Charles J. Guiteau, a mentally ill and delusional office seeker, who had distributed copies of a speech he wrote aimed at promoting Garfield in the 1880 United States presidential election.
- Guiteau believed his campaigning had been vital to Garfield's eventual victory, and that Garfield owed him a diplomatic post in Europe for his assistance.
- After months of failed attempts to solicit such a reward from the Garfield administration, he purchased a revolver and began stalking Garfield with the goal of assassinating him, hoping that if he succeeded in doing so, Garfield's vice president Chester A. Arthur would give him the job he wanted upon assuming the presidency.
