I wanted to like this more than I did. The stories were interesting, but they‘re pretty loosely connected. Implying that the Oneida community had any role in Guiteau‘s assassination of Garfield because he lived there for awhile is a bit of a stretch. Their ideology and practices, as far as I can tell from this book, weren‘t part of his motivation for the killing. The members of the community seem to have found him off putting. #audiowalk
