Description

C.W. Goodyear is a fresh new voice in the field of narrative biography. A bestselling author and historian based in Washington, DC, he was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and grew up abroad before graduating from Yale University. President Garfield: From Radical to Unifier is American history at its finest. It is about an impoverished boy working his way from the frontier to the Presidency; a progressive statesman, trying to raise a more righteous, peaceful Republic out of the ashes of civil war; the tragically imperfect course of that reformation, and the man himself; a martyr-President, whose death succeeded in nudging the country back to cleaner, calmer politics.

C.W. Goodyear will be interviewed by Ted Zaleski of the Two Sides to the Story Podcast. 

Books will be available for purchase and signing. 

Presented by A Likely Story Bookstore, Carroll Lutheran Village, and Carroll County Public Library.
