From the Publisher
Rutherford B. Hayes' own words combine with historic photographs, documents and letters to tell the story of the nineteenth president. This unique, interactive CD-ROM was produced by the Hayes Presidential Center, the nation's first presidential center. Every section makes use of the Center's unique resources. Hundreds of visual images, audio segments, video clips and vivid designs make relating of the past to present generations an entertaining and eye-catching prospect. The scope of the CD extends to anyone interested in the Civil War, the presidency, nineteenth century America or genealogy. The wealth of information includes a database of Civil War soldiers, indexes to the text and to the pictures, and even a teacher's guide for educator's use.
