Excerpt from The Poets' Tributes to Garfield: The Collection of Poems Written for the Boston Daily Globe, and Many Selections; With Portrait and Biography
Began to attend school in a little log-schoolhouse, the site for which had been glven by Mrs. Garfield. He was an apt scholar, and at the age Of eight years was a good reader, speller, and writer. Books were his delight; and among the works with which he became thoroughly acquainted during his boyhood were J ose phus and Goodrich's History of the United States. With the Bible he was familiar from the first; for Mrs. Garfield, a devoted adherent of the Campbellite faith, was fully mindful Of her children's spiritual interests, and carefully implanted in their minds the truths of the Christian religion. He remained at home until he was sixteen years old, pursued his studies with as much vigor as ever, did chores about his mother's place, worked for other people as he had opportunity, and proved himself a capa ble and industrious lad. He was about seventeen years Old when he finally started to enter upon the seafaring life which he had long dreamed of. Arriving at Cleveland, to ship before the mast upon some of the lake craft, circumstances compelled him to abandon the plan; and he was led to become a driver on a canal tow-path. As driver, and then as boatman, he worked on the Ohio Canal several months.
