Rutherford B. Hayes

1822–1893

Rutherford B. Hayes was the nineteenth president of the United States. He entered office after the disputed election of 1876 and the political settlement that ended federal military enforcement of Reconstruction in the South.

The wider career recorded for Rutherford B. Hayes also included service as President of the United States, United States representative, Governor of Ohio, and President-elect of the United States. In dynastic and political terms, Rutherford B. Hayes belonged to the family of Rutherford B. Hayes. The biographical record places the beginning of Rutherford B. Hayes’s life at Delaware and the end at Fremont, giving the career a geographical span that is not apparent from the headline events alone.

In Gore Vidal’s 1876, written as Charles’s journal, the novel builds towards the disputed presidential election between Samuel J. Tilden and Rutherford B. Hayes. Rutherford B. Hayes is treated fictionally in John Jakes’ The Lawless.
