Alexander Hamilton

by Charles A. Conant

Overview

"I think the first duty of society is justice."

- Alexander Hamilton

He fought at Washington's side in the Revolution, helped ensure the ratification of the Constitution, and saved the fledgling United States from financial ruin. He died in a tragic duel with his political rival, Aaron Burr.

In 'Alexander Hamilton' historian Charles A. Conant sheds light on the most facinating and quixotic Founding Father. This new edition of Conant's classic biography includes an essay on Hamilton by 19th Century author Sarah Knowles Bolton.
