Publisher's Synopsis
Alexander Hamilton: A Life Worth Living! This book is the story of Alexander Hamilton, one of America's great founding fathers. Alexander Hamilton's story reminds you of a "classic rags to riches" story that has his childhood in the British West Indies and how he left West Indies and immigrated to North America to receive a first class education, and later become a hero in the Revolutionary War and General George Washington's right-hand man. When Washington was elected as a President, Hamilton became the Secretary of the Treasury because of his service to Washington. As a member of the new government, Hamilton made important contributions including setting up a currency and banking system that are still used today. He also played an important part in the ratification of the constitution of the United States. In his personal life, although, Hamilton married a rich woman and became a member of the upper class, but he was also involved in an infamous affair and ultimately died defending his honor in a duel. The book is a detailed account of this very controversial and important figure in the American history. Happy reading!
