There is a new historical drama coming this week about President James A. Garfield and his assassin, Charles J. Guiteau, called Death by Lightning. You’ll be able to watch it with your Netflix subscription starting tomorrow (November 6). If the prospect of watching a 4-part series about the short presidency and violent death of a man that not many people know much about sounds uninteresting to you, I ask you please to reconsider. President Garfield is one of the great “what ifs” in American history, and I’m hoping the Netflix series brings more attention to him and what his legacy could have been.
