Who Was Alexander Hamilton? | Pam Pollack, Meg Belviso
2 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
Read the story of the Founding Father who inspired the smash Broadway musical. Born in the British West Indies and orphaned as a child, Alexander Hamilton made his way to the American Colonies and studied to become a lawyer. He joined a local militia during the American Revolution, rose to the rank of Major General, and became the chief aide to General George Washington. After the war, he became the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. He founded the Bank of New York and The New York Post newspaper. He served as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention and is also celebrated as a co-author of The Federalist Papers, a series of essays that are still used today to interpret the U.S. Constitution. The end of his life became a national scandal when he was shot and killed in a duel with then-Vice President Aaron Burr.

A very informative children‘s book on the one-and-only Alexander Hamilton. I really liked learning a little more on Hamilton and what his accomplishments were during his lifetime.

Man Cub wanted to write a report about Alexander Hamilton and pulled out this book for help. I ended up reading it last night. A good basic history of Hamilton. I love this series for kids.

LibrarianJen I love this series too! Simple enough to not overwhelm young readers but still informative. 6y
Reviewsbylola I‘ve started collecting this series for my girls even though they aren‘t old enough for them yet. 6y

OrangeMooseReads @Reviewsbylola that is a good idea. They cover so many different people, events, and places. 6y
