Talk:Assassination of James A. Garfield

Drawing

On the drawing of the crowd of mourners in the section "Aftermath", i think the man stated to be James G. Blaine may in fact be Rutherford B. Hayes. Also, i think the man between Arthur and Grant is Chief Justice Morrison Waite. I think it should say so in the caption.--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 11:29, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Location

Hope this doesn't sound ghoulish, but... given all of the physical changes on that site, the demolition of one building and the construction of another, how close can we come to identifying the exact location of the shooting? I ask only because the site of President McKinley's shooting is marked (how accurately I don't know) with a small monument in the residential neighborhood that grew on the site of the Temple of Music.

I don't think the exact location can be determined. As this article, and Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station include, a gold star was placed on the station floor where Garfield supposedly fell. It was removed when the building was demolished, and supposedly placed in a cornerstone for another building, then dug up in 1937. No location memorial is known to have been placed since, as 'confirmed' by this July 2012 blog post. —ADavidB 02:58, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

The newspaper illustrations in this article would be a lot more valuable if they were adjusted for contrast. As it stands they're just smudges. 73.71.251.64 (talk) 23:50, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
