Excerpt from Diary and Letters of Rutherford Birchard Hayes, Vol. 2: Nineteenth President of the United States; 1861-1865
In the next few weeks of tense political excitement, with South Carolina openly moving toward secession and President Buchanan supinely looking on in a paralysis Of inaction, the Diary is silent, as are also the extant letters, on the absorbing topic Of the day. That he was not an indifferent Observer Of passing events, however, and that for the moment with large numbers of people Of the North he contemplated calmly the possibility of the permanent disruption of the Union, the pages that follow clearly demonstrate.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the experiences and observations of Rutherford Birchard Hayes, an American politician, and military officer who served as the 19th president of the United States. The narrative begins in 1861, providing a vivid and personal account of the secession crisis, the outbreak of the Civil War, and Hayes's recruitment into the Union Army. Hayes's service in the 23rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment during the Western Virginia Campaign and the Shenandoah Valley Campaign offered a unique perspective on the challenges and hardships faced by soldiers during the conflict. Through Hayes's eyes, readers witness the horrors of war, the bravery of his fellow soldiers, and the complexities of military decision-making. Beyond its historical value, the book provides insights into Hayes's character and his evolving views on slavery, politics, and the nature of American society. Hayes's deep sense of patriotism and his commitment to the preservation of the Union are evident throughout the narrative. The book also reveals his growing disillusionment with the political process and his belief in the power of individual action to effect change. Hayes's detailed accounts of battles, camp life, and his interactions with fellow officers and enlisted men offer a rare glimpse into the daily realities of the Civil War. His personal reflections on the conflict's broader implications for the nation add depth and significance to this compelling historical narrative.
