President William McKinley was one of the most beloved of all our Presidents. Yet few know of him. I will be doing a few articles on the assassination from a massive scrapbook made professionally in 1902 from Newspaper clippings of the time. With this, I can give some unusual information about the affair that shook the United States and the world.
