This is a short history of the USA in the time of President Hayes. It is written for general readers and the segments are short and self-contained. This is part of Mike Donovan's three million word history of the United States. This part covers 10,400 words. Did Hayes really 'steal' the Election of 1876? What was the Buffalo Hunter's War? Which city had gory 'Chinatown Riots' in 1877? Was Hayes really the best president of all time, as Doris Goodwin always insists? If so, why? What is New England sarcasm? These are just some of the questions that Mike Donovan tries to answer in this little book about Rutherfraud.
