The False Portrait

from Eighty Days

Michael Ceraolo

July 3, 1881

 
Garfield:

Crete had returned last evening at seven,
said “I am here to nurse you back to life”
then said “Please do not speak of death again”
And merely by making it to today
my chances of survival are growing

 
Guiteau:

“Two points will be accomplished”
“It will save the Republic,
and
create a demand for my book,
The Truth . . . written to save souls
In order to attract public attention
the book needs the notice
the President’s removal will give it”

 

Eighty Days” consists of dramatic monologues of varying lengths
for each of the eighty days from July 2, 1881 through September 19, 1881,
the period from when President Garfield was shot until he died.
Each date consists of monologues by Garfield and Guiteau.
