Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, and Chester A. Arthur: all Presidents who have been dubbed the "lost Americans." On the other hand, perhaps it was not the Presidents who were lost, but the American political establishment itself. Tony Rydberg and Ryan Rasmussen pick apart the events of 1877-1885, eight years that span these three presidencies. Despite being often overlooked, this era contributed a variety of drastic and irreversible changes to the American story, from America's most controversial election to the assassination of one of its presidents. Tony and Ryan retrace the battle lines that defined the era and determine who (if anyone) came out of the battle a winner.
