I felt this was an interesting biography, balancing the personal man with the private man.
one couldn't help bt admire his dedication to the idea of the union, though some of his quotes about slavery are enough to erase any admiration.

A poor telling of Hayes's life that shows misplaced priorities. I'm sure his patronage of Ohio libraries was important to him, but did it really warrant nearly as much space as the contested election of 1876? Because that's what I would have wanted to read more about. There are also bizarre asides included without explanation; for example, one sentence says the feminists supported Hayes, but it doesn't describe why, or what issued "the feminists"were grappling with at the time.
