Being Mr. Kenny

Charles Guiteau was an interesting character. Born September 8, 1841, he assassinated President Garfield on July 2, 1881. He was hanged on June 30, 1882 after a lengthy and thoroughly entertaining trial.

This information comes, of course, from wikipedia, but it’s all about the Kate Beaton comic I read just this morning.

You should read the wikipedia article about Charles Guiteau, it’s quite interesting. Plus it contains the phrase, “he was blissfully oblivious to the American public’s outrage and hatred of him.”

I like the way wikipedia articles are written with a sense of humour. I really do.
