Join the Civil War Museum online for an in-depth discussion led by Joshua Dubbert and C.W. Goodyear about Rutherford B. Hayes and James A. Garfield and their lives during the Civil War Years. Joshua Dubbert is the Historian at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library and Museums. His research focuses on Victorian America, particularly its culture, art, architecture, and the era’s presidents. He enjoys giving public programs and tours of the Hayes Home, and sharing the fascinating history of Hayes, his presidency, his family, and his era, with the public.
C.W. Goodyear is an author and historian based in Washington, D.C. He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and grew up abroad before graduating from Yale University. His writing has appeared in The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post, and his latest book, President Garfield: From Radical to Unifier, is a critically acclaimed biography of America’s 20th president.
Six of the eight presidents to serve after the Civil War fought in the war itself, including Rutherford B. Hayes and James A. Garfield. The two men had many other things in common—both were Ohioans, Republicans, and U.S. Congressmen. Their mettle was tested in battle and their politics were shaped by their leadership roles during the great conflict. This program examines Hayes and Garfield’s individual war experiences, presented by Joshua Dubbert, historian at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums, and C.W. Goodyear, author of the recent acclaimed biography President Garfield: From Radical to Unifier.
Participants will be sent a link the day-of to access this live virtual workshop at their home computers.
