The Destiny of the Republic. I did not know that Alexander Graham Bell invented the metal detector specifically to find Guiteau's bullet in President Garfield's body. It's an interesting history of science/history of medicine book (this is the assassination where Guiteau's defence was that he only shot the Prez and it was the doctors who killed him).
