The subject of a New York Times bestselling biography and a PulitzerPrize winning musical, interest in Alexander Hamilton is at an alltime high. This carefully curated collection of Hamilton's writings gives the reader an intimate glimpse into the mind of our most misunderstood founding father.The smashhit musical Hamilton presents its central character as a truthtelling immigrant bootstrapper who used his extraordinary intelligence to make good but what was he really like? Let the man himself, a prolific and extremely effective writer, tell his story in his own words.Organized chronologically, this collection of Alexander Hamilton's personal letters, business and governmental correspondence, and excerpts from his most important published writings (including the Federalist Papers) gives readers firsthand insight into this highly influential founding father who engineered the ratification of the US Constitution, created the UnitedStates' financial system, and established friendly trade relations with Britain.The book includes love letters to Elizabeth Schuyler, who became his wife, and correspondence with his friendturnednemesis, Aaron Burr, which led to the duel in Weehawken that ended Hamilton's life at the age of 47. Also included are responses from some of his correspondents that give a 360degree view of the man so esteemed by his protector and friend, George Washington, but reviled by others, including Washington's successor as president, John Adams.Illustrated with 50 illustrations, drawings, document facsimiles and more, the text is accompanied throughout by explanatory annotations from editor Dan Tucker who also provides introductions to each chapter and a preface.
