What is The Presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes about?

<p>Mark Twain, who captured the essence of the Gilded Age, predicted that, in time, the real and substantial greatness of the Hayes presidency would cause it to stand out against the horizon of history in its true proportions. This volume, an assessment of all significant aspects of the Hayes administration, may bring about just such a reappraisal. It is am important reevaluation of the administration that officially ended the Reconstruction era.<P>Hoogenboom covers all issues, decisions, and developments of consequence during the Hayes presidency&#151;from the withdrawal of troops from Louisiana and South Carolina that signaled the end of Reconstruction, through the Great Strike of 1877&#151;the most violent general strike in American history&#151;to the Nez Perce War and the removal of the Poncas to the Indian Territory.<P> Hayes began his term with a vast segment of the population convinced that he had been elected by fraud. The election returns of four states were disputed in his race against Democrat Samuel J. Tilden; when a special commission awarded all disputed returns to Hayes, many indignant citizens concluded that he was not legally entitled to reside in the White House.
