... that when U.S. President James A. Garfield was assassinated in 1881, his personal physician was out of town and unavailable to treat his gunshot wound?

* Everything checks out. The article is very well sourced, and I've only made a few minor edits. I'm a bit concerned about the hook, though. When I first read it, I wondered why he was expected to treat a dead man's wound. How about clarifying that Garfield was not killed immediately, but shot at or wounded?
