A leader of the Reconstruction era, whose contested election eerily parallels the election debacle of 2000 The disputed election of 1876 between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel Tilden, in which Congress set up a special electoral commission, handing the disputed electoral votes to Hayes, brings recent events into sharp focus. Historian Hans L. Trefousse explores Hayes's new relevance and reconsiders what many have seen as the pitfalls of his presidency. While Hayes did officially terminate the Reconstruction, Trefousse points out that this process was already well under way by the start of his term and there was little he could do to stop it. A great intellectual and one of our best-educated presidents, Hayes did much more in the way of healing the nation and elevating the presidency.

Excerpt from Life and Public Services of Gov; Rutherford B. Hayes God bless the man who invented a preface! He was a public benefactor, and ought to have a monument on Mount Olympus. It is such a sweet satisfaction to have some spot in a book where the author can be at home with his intimate friends, and out of the reach of intruders, and where a writer can say any thing he pleases without fear of being questioned by the public. It is also a good provision for the readers, as it furnishes a receptacle for all kinds of odds and ends for which there is no place in the body of the work, and in which, if there were a place for them, the general public would have no interest. A preface is a most convenient thing. Some writers feel compelled to stride through their book on intellectual stilts, giving the impression that they are very tall men; and even the members of their own family would not recognize them without looking back in the preface, and observing how the writers behave, and how they appear, at home. Others set about their work with lungs inflated, and cheeks puffed out, to such an extent as to deceive the very elect with regard to their lateral proportions.
