Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memorial Address, in Honor of General Rutherford B. Hayes
There lives a light that none can view, Whose thoughts are brutish.
Your thoughts, ladies and gentlemen, are not brutish, or you would not be here. You knew him; some of you inti mately, nearly all of you for years. You have seen him at his best, in all his manly dignity, his rugged strength, his modesty, his sweetness, and his simplicity. You have come into personal contact with his greatness, his truth, and his courage. But I speak for a larger audience - his countrymen and the world, for by many he has been misjudged, under estimated, and traduced. I hope to explain him and to vindicate him.
