This tour was the first time a sitting U. S. president traveled to the West Coast. General William Tecumseh Sherman organized the 71-day journey at the president's request. President Hayes, the First Lady, and their entourage visited not only California, Oregon, and the Washington Territory, but the southwest as well. The aim of this venture was to not only help reunite a nation still dealing with sectional issues after the Civil War,m but also to consolidate presidential power. In this lecture led by Hayes Historian Joshua Dubbert, learn about who accompanied the president, the cities and towns visited, and the types of activities that took place during this fascinating historic voyage.
Fee: $25.00
