This carefully curated collection of Hamilton’s writings gives the reader an intimate glimpse into the mind of our most misunderstood founding smash-hit musical Hamilton presents its central character as a truth-telling immigrant boot-strapper 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 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 first-hand 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 book includes love letters to Elizabeth Schuyler, who became his wife, and correspondence with his friend-turned-nemesis, Aaron Burr, which led to the duel in Weehawken that ended Hamilton’s life at the age of 47.
