EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stern yet thoughtful visage of Rutherford B. Hayes, the 19th President of the United States, during his tenure from 1877 to 1881. The long, dark beard and piercing blue eyes of Hayes, who was known for his strong moral character and commitment to upholding the law, convey a sense of gravity and determination. Hayes, born on October 4, 1822, in Delaware, Ohio, served in the Civil War as a Union officer and later became a lawyer and politician. He was elected to the Ohio State Senate and then to the U.S. House of Representatives before being chosen as the Republican Party's presidential nominee in 1876. The presidential election of 1876 was contentious, with disputed votes in several states leading to a prolonged political crisis. However, Hayes was ultimately declared the winner, and he worked to resolve the disputes and bring the country together. During his presidency, Hayes focused on civil service reform, reducing the size of the military, and promoting economic development through the use of federal land grants for railroads and other infrastructure projects. This photograph, taken during Hayes' presidency, offers a glimpse into the man who led the country through a critical period in American history. With his unwavering commitment to the rule of law and his dedication to the welfare of the American people, Hayes remains an important figure in the annals of American history.
