We all know the adage, "those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Don't be a victim - instead join librarians Lauren Pfendner and Chris Tremblay for an engrossing read of historical nonfiction every month. September's selection is Destiny of the Republic by Candice Millard. A New York Times Notable Book in 2011 and winner of the 2012 PEN award for Research Nonfiction, the New York Times describes Destiny of the Republic as "fascinating... gripping... stunning....has a much bigger scope than the events surrounding Garfield’s slow, lingering death. It is the haunting tale of how a man who never meant to seek the presidency found himself swept into the White House. . . . Ms. Millard shows the Garfield legacy to be much more important than most of her readers knew it to be."
