Alexander Hamilton is a biography of Alexander Hamilton, written by Ron Chernow. The book begins with his birth in the Caribbean and continues through his early years in America to his rise as one of the most admired—and reviled—politicians and statesmen that this country has ever seen. It’s based on popular music that shows how both America and its founder developed over time.
Alexander Hamilton was born in 1757 on a Caribbean island, but he spent most of his childhood on another island. He hated slavery and admired rebellions.
After his mother’s death, a hurricane hit St. Croix and destroyed much of the island. Hamilton wrote a letter to influential people about the destruction it caused and how many families were affected by it. The tone of the letter was impressive, so they sent him to New York for formal education in 1772.
