Presidents, politicians, and pistols
I have been viewing a show on the History channel detailing all of the JFK assassination theories. This set me on an oddessy to look up all the American Presidents who have had attempts on their life and pair them with their assailants. Here we go:
Presidential assassinations:
Abraham Lincoln- John Wilkes Booth. April 11, 1865
James Garfield- Charles Julius Guiteau. July 2, 1881
William McKinley- Leon Czolgosz. Spetember 6, 1901
John F. Kennedy- Lee Harvey Oswald. November 22, 1963
Attempted Presidential assassinations:
Andrew Jackson- Richard Lawrence. January 30, 1835
Theodore Roosevelt- John Schrank
Franklin D. Roosevelt- Guiseppe Zangara. February 15, 1933
Harry S. Truman- Griselio Torresola, Oscar Collazo. November 1, 1950
Richard Nixon- Samuel S. Byck. February 22, 1974
Gerald Ford- Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme. Spetember 5, 1975. Sarah Jane Moore. September 22, 1975
Jimmy Carter- Raymond Lee Harvey. May 5, 1979
Ronald Regan- John Hinckley Smith Jr. March 30, 1981
George HW. Bush- Kuwait University. April 13, 1993
Bill Clinton- Francisco Martin Duran. October 29, 1994
George W. Bush- Vladimir Arutinian. May 10, 2005
A lot of these I had never even heard about before. I like this, we'll move on through more assassinations from history in the days and weeks to come.
