FIRST LADY TO JAMES GARFIELD // #20

  • “Crete”

  • Loved reading

  • First met her “overgrown, uncombed, unwashed” future husband at school; she thought he was a kind of “strange genius”

  • Their early marriage was kind of loveless

  • James had a few affairs; he came clean after a while

  • Eventually, the two of them actually feel in love

Heather Rogers, America's Preeminent Presidential Doodler

I’ve read at least one book about every U.S. president, never tire of shoehorning presidential trivia into conversations, and am basically an expert at hiding mistakes in my sketchbooks.
