Presidential Free Association: James Garfield

This is part of a series called Presidential Free Association. I post the first word that comes to mind when I hear the name of the president, along with a brief explanation.




Ambidextrous


Best known as the first president to be assassinated, James Garfield had a strange, but admittedly cool, talent. In addition to being ambidextrous, he was also multilingual. He reportedly could write in Latin in one hand and Greek in the other simultaneously, which is all the more impressive considering they are written in two different alphabets.
