Regular listeners have also heard me praise Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine & the Murder of a President as well as The River of Doubt: Theodore Roosevelt's Darkest Journey.\n\nFor more, visit CandiceMillard.com or follow her @Candice_Millard on Twitter and like her at Facebook.\n\nThanks to Todd Arrington, who we met up with to chat about his book, The Last Lincoln Republican: The Presidential Election of 1880.\xa0 Todd is site manager at James A. Garfield National Historic Site in Mentor, Ohio.\n\nMusic credit: "Temple of Endless Sands" by Darren Curtis.
