Extractions: Garfield to Huss Garfield, James A. (1831-1881) "Swain, can't you stop this (pain)? Swain!" James Garfield was the twentieth president of the United States. He was shot by a disgruntled office seeker, Charles Guiteau , and lingered for weeks before dying when doctors could not find the bullet. For more information: How Alexander Graham Bell Helped Kill a President Garrett, Johnny Frank (?-1991) "I'd like to thank my family for loving me and taking care of me. And the rest of the world can kiss my ass." Garrett brutally murdered a Catholic nun in 1981. Caught, tried, and convicted, Garrett was finally executed in 1991 after exhausting his legal appeals process. Genghis, Khan of the Mongols (1155?-1227) "Let not my end disarm you, and on no account weep or keen for me, let the enemy be warned of my death" Genghis Khan was the founder of the largest continuous land empire to ever be established, ranging from the Near East to the Yellow Sea. In 1226, at a relatively advance age, he lead his army on a campaign to punish the Tanguts for their refusal to provide him with auxiliary troops during a previous campaign. He fell ill as his forces approached the Tangut capital of Ningxia, perhapsalthough accounts disagreefrom infections of wounds inflicted on his genitals by a captured woman he had ravished. At any event, when it became clear that he was dying, he summoned his generals and sons to his bedside. His sons arrived first and found their father deliriously raving that "My descendants will wear gold, they will eat the choicest meats, they will ride the finest horses, they will hold in their arms the most beautiful women, and they will forget to whom they owe it all." Eventually, he regained his composure and told his sons "It is clear to me that I must leave everything and go hence from thee." He then turned to his generals and began to give final guidance for the battle against the Tanguts. Before he concluded his speech, the instructed them "the words of the lad Kublai are well worth attention; see, all of you, that you heed what he says! One day he will sit in my seat and bring you good fortune such as you have had in my day." Following the khan's death, the Mongol army defeated the Tanguts, sacked Ningxia, and massacred all of its inhabitants.
