Book Preview:

#1 Rutherford Hayes, the future president, had little in common with George W. Bush, his twenty-first-century successor. He was a New Englander born in West Brattleboro, Vermont, who descended from a long line of Presbyterians who had come from Scotland in 1625 to settle in Connecticut.

#2 Hayes was a sickly child, and it was Fanny who was his protector and nurse. He was able to reciprocate when she fell ill, giving her little rides on a sled during her recovery. He was sent to a new school in 1836, the Norwalk Seminary in Ohio, where he was able to maintain a high standard of education.

#3 Webb and Hayes both attended college in 1838. Hayes was anxious to go, but Webb was too young. Hayes enjoyed his college career, and made several lasting friendships.

#4 Hayes left Harvard at the end of his third semester in February 1845. He decided to settle in Lower Sandusky, soon to be called Fremont, where he had contacts. He established his permanent home in Cincinnati in 1849.
