Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diary and Letters of Rutherford Birchard Hayes, Vol. 1: Nineteenth President of the United States; 1834-1860 The earliest extant writing of Rutherford B. Hayes is a narrative, written in his twelfth year, giving an account of a visit made in company with his mother and sister to relatives in New England. This was in the summer of 1834. The journey was made by stage, steamboat, and canal boat, with one short railway ride. The journal is in a small paper-covered notebook. The penmanship is reasonably plain and clean, the spelling for the most part accurate, thought there are numerous slips especially in proper names, but there is little punctuation and much irregularity in the use of capitals. The narrative follows.] We left home, Delaware, Wednesday, June 1834; arrived at Lower Sandusky [now Fremont] the same evening. We stayed with Uncle Birchard till the 8th; then went down the Sandusky River to Portland [now Sandusky]. Monday evening went on board the Henry Clay. Had a pleasant passage down Lake Erie to Buffalo. We went on board a canal boat Wednesday morning. Arrived at Schenectady Monday morning. Then went on the railroad to Saratoga. Visited the springs and my Grandfather Bichard's grave. Tuesday, came in the stage to Bennington. Wednesday, came to Wilmington. Thursday, arrived at my Grandfather Haye's, in Brattleboro. We spent a week in this pleasant village. We spent two weeks in the pleasant village of Fayetteville [now Newfane], at my Uncle Austin Birchard's. From there we went over the Brookline mountain to Putney where I had lots of fun with George breaking up bumblebee's nests.
