Garfield was the second American president to be assassinated, six months and sixteen days after assuming office. During his military career, he had served in the Army of the Cumberland, and it was the Society of the Army of the Cumberland that commissioned this statue in 1884. John Quincy Adams Ward sculpted the statue; it was cast by the Henry-Bonnard Company of New York; and Richard Morris Hunt designed the pedestal.
