All right, I’m running out of things to say about the City of Light, Upstate New York version.
What most interested me about Buffalo as a boy was how President McKinley got shot there. Anarchist Leon Czolgosz wrapped an extended bandage around the pistol he held in his hand, and simply waited in the reception line for all those who wanted to shake the president’s hand.
As a kid, this struck me as pure genius. Little did I realize that McKinley must’ve had about the worst security team in history, with the possible exception of the detective who went off to have a beer while Lincoln was watching that play.
Apparently, they even ushered Czolgosz toward McKinley, saying, “Mr. President, this man has an injured hand.” Why not just, “Mr. President, this man is holding a large, lit ‘Acme Anarchist Bomb’”? And what about the people standing in line with him? Didn’t they get suspicious?
I can only assume that America was a more trusting nation back in 1901. Or maybe there were just a lot more people with injured hands, which could account for why Czolgosz was so peeved in the first place.
I shouldn’t be so flippant. McKinley was a stolid, machine politician who was nudged into pulling off what became a very brutal piece of American imperialism in the Philippines, but other than that he wasn’t a bad guy.
He was devoted to his shy wife, who also suffered from epilepsy. When he was governor of Ohio, he used to go to the window of his office everyday and wave his handkerchief to her in their nearby home, and she would wave back.
When she had one of her fits at a public dinner, he would simply place a napkin over her face while the dinner continued, which was considered the height of Victorian decorum and consideration.
And when he was shot, he told his incompetent Secret Service agents, while still clutching his bullet wound, “Be careful how you tell my wife.” He also told them, “Go easy on him,” when they started beating Czolgosz with their pistol butts, in frustration over their own idiocy.
McKinley was the second assassinated president, after James Garfield, who would have lived had he encountered a doctor who was only the equivalent of a first-year veterinary student today. But no could do.
Forget it, Mac. It’s Buffalo.
There's a great book about how terrible the doctor was.
ReplyDeleteThey brought in Tesla to rig a special X ray machine to find where the bullet went. But it wasn't where the doctors thought it should be, so they didn't act on it. Or something like that.

That's a good book, although it greatly overrates how important Garfield was as a historical figure. He was, however, a terrifically nice guy, and if they had just left him on the floor of the Washington train station where he was shot, and given him some water and blankets, he probably would have recovered.
ReplyDeleteInstead, the doctors probed around in his wound with their unwashed fingers, trying to find the bullet. Alexander Graham Bell did indeed invent an entire device to find the bullet—but at first the response was confusing, as Garfield was on a metal spring mattress.
Bell, who had an incredible mind, quickly figured it out. But as you say, JM, the idiot quack in charge would only let him run it over the half of torso where the doc was sure it was lodged. It wasn't there, and thus was not found.
McKinley's medical care, 20 years later, was just about as bad.
