Just an interesting article I stumbled across while doing quizzes on Sporcle. It's an interesting bit of trivia regarding President Chester Arthur that I hadn't previously heard of! A quick read, but worth it.

I wonder if the Futurama episode with the president from the future took any inspiration from this (on top of being a parody of folks asking for Obama's birth certificate).

Oh yeah, his backstory is pretty gnarly. Mr. Beat has a pretty good video on Guiteau too; I may upload it to this community next
