Garraty and Mark C. Carnes, vol. 10, New York, Oxford UP, 1999, pp. 395-97. 24 vols. This source is an exposition on the birth, education, and influence of Lucy Hayes, the wife of President Hayes. This work references President Hayes’ personal diary, and the correspondence between the President and First Lady Hayes. It is organized in order from her birth, education, marriage, and the active role that she played influencing her husband. The American National Biography, as stated before, was written to include more information on the role of women and ethnic minorities. The 24 volumes boast a large and well-qualified editorial board, as well as the support of American Council of Learned Societies. The author of this particular exposition is an editor and contributor for the American National Biography. The information on Lucy Hayes will be critical to my research because I will be able to portray the difference between First Lady Hayes and First Lady Garfield. I will also explore the differences in character, and the role this played in public reception of the two women.
