Alexander Hamilton by Frederick Scott Oliver is a comprehensive biography of one of America's founding fathers. The book traces Hamilton's life from his humble beginnings as an orphan in the Caribbean to his rise as a prominent political figure in the newly formed United States. Oliver delves into Hamilton's early years as a clerk and his education at King's College (now Columbia University), where he quickly became involved in revolutionary politics. The book explores Hamilton's role in the American Revolution, including his service as an aide to General George Washington and his contributions to the writing of the Federalist Papers. In addition to his political accomplishments, the book also examines Hamilton's personal life, including his marriage to Elizabeth Schuyler and his infamous affair with Maria Reynolds. Throughout the book, Oliver paints a vivid picture of Hamilton's complex personality and his enduring legacy as an influential figure in American history.1928. An essay on American union. The author admits that no adequate life of Hamilton had yet been written. Hamilton's achievements have been chronicled, praised and condemned, but in the case of such a character, it is impossible to rest content with an account of his public deeds. Hamilton awaits a true interpreter, and it is hardly necessary to say that the present volume does not aim at supplying the deficiency.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
