The Presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes
- Used Book in Good Condition
This new interpretation of the Hayes administration contradicts the widely held view that Hayes was an inept politician and an ineffective leader. Hoogenboom argues that it was Hayes's character and personality that set his presidency apart in the Gilded Age.

This volume covers all issues, decisions, and developments during the Hayes presidencyâ€”from the withdrawal of troops from Louisiana and South Carolina that signalled the end of Reconstruction, through the Great Strike of 1877â€”the most violent general strike in American historyâ€”and the Nez Perce War, to the struggle for civil service reform and the fight to preserve voting rights.

Hoogenboom credits Hayes with being a patient reformer, principled but practical, cautious yet courageous. His honesty and decency echoed the pristine values of the early American Republic, while his attempts to rally support by emphasizing issues and policiesâ€”rather than by relying on political organizationâ€”anticipated the style of twentieth-century presidents.
