"Rutherford B. Hayes: The 19th President of the United States and a Man of Integrity" In 1877, Rutherford B. Hayes took his oath of office during his inauguration as the 19th President of the United States. This historic moment, captured by an unknown creator, symbolizes the beginning of a new era under Hayes' leadership. Throughout his presidency, which spanned from 1877 to 1881, Hayes was known for his integrity and dedication to public service. A photograph taken between 1865 and 1880 showcases him in full length, exuding confidence and determination. Hayes was not only a statesman but also a devoted family man. Another image from that same period depicts him with two sons whose names are lost to history but who undoubtedly looked up to their father's strong character. His wife Lucy Webb Hayes played an essential role in supporting her husband's political career. An unidentified artist captured her elegance and grace in a portrait taken between 1870 and 1880. The American Presidential Election held great significance during this time, with an engraving showcasing Rutherford Hayes as the Republican candidate vying for the highest office in the land. His commitment to serving his country shines through this artwork. As one of America's presidents immortalized in lithographs depicting all U. S Presidents or chromolithos featuring Presidents past and present, Rutherford B. Hayes left an indelible mark on our nation's history. Even after leaving office, he continued making contributions as seen in Eliphalet Frazer Andrews' portrait from 1881—his dignified presence reflecting years spent leading our great nation forward. Today we remember Rutherford B. Hayes as more than just a name; he embodied integrity and honor throughout his presidency—a true testament to what it means to serve one's country faithfully.
