I'm excited for your review of the contentious 1876 election that resulted in Rutherford B. Hayes becoming president. And also your view on the gilded age presidents in general. It's a period of American history that for some reason is largely forgotten in the public consciousness. It's the awkward teenage years, past the heralded glories of our childhood but before we become an international adult powerhouse.

Don't forget to tell the story of Taft getting stuck in a bathtub, or Teddy Roosevelt relaying the sasquatch story told to him by a trapper in one of his books.

I am excited for this journal.
