Senator Huey Long was shot in the Louisiana state capitol
building. He died about 30 hours later. Called a demagogue
by critics, the populist leader was a larger-than-life figure
who boasted that he bought legislators “like sacks of
potatoes, shuffled them like a deck of cards.”
He gave himself the nickname “Kingfish,” saying “I’m a
small fish here in Washington. But I’m the Kingfish to the
folks down in Louisiana.”
On September 6, 1901, President William McKinley was shaking
hands at the Pan-American Exhibition in Buffalo, New York,
when a 28-year-old anarchist named Leon Czolgosz approached
him and fired two shots into his chest. The president rose slightly
on his toes before collapsing forward, saying “be careful how you
tell my wife.”
The president died on September 14 after his wound became
infected. Caught in the act, Czolgosz was tried, convicted, and
executed by the State of New York seven weeks later on
October 29, 1901.
