4thofelevenAnyone got any theories why the McKinley assasination is such an obscure part of American history? I mean, sure, the Lincoln assasination gets more attention because, well, Lincoln, and Kennedy's still in living memory - but McKinley seems to struggle to get attention even compared to Garfield...
Is it just that McKinley himself tends to be completly overshadowed by Teddy Roosevelt in histories? Or is this a recent change, and sharing a name with a cartoon cat has given Garfield a sudden boost in prominence in the popular mind?
