The Presidency Of Rutherford B. Hayes by Ari Hoogenboom
A detailed political biography that examines a contentious inauguration, the disputed election settlement that brought him to power, and his efforts to restore national unity through moderation and administrative reform; it portrays a president of integrity who sought civil-service reform, battled patronage and corruption, and used federal authority cautiously—using troops to quell labor unrest while withdrawing them from the South as part of a compromise that effectively ended Reconstruction and enabled the resurgence of white Southern rule—leaving a legacy of moral leadership tempered by limited achievements on civil rights and constrained relations with Congress.
