Quick Reference
Background
Dying as he had lived, William McKinley’s last words were those of the beau ideal of a Christian gentleman. “Goodbye, good-bye to all,” he said weakly, “It is God’s way. His will be done – not ours.” Dr. Mann, who attended at his bedside, here quotes the President, adding, “Truly an ideally beautiful expression with which to end one's life.”
Dr. Mann was the surgeon who operated on McKinley immediately after the shooting. An obstetrician and gynecologist, he had no experience treating gunshot wounds.
