[SR: 1004202], Hardcover, [EAN: 9780982604038], Eleftheria Publishing, Eleftheria Publishing, Book, [PU: Eleftheria Publishing], 2015-07-01, Eleftheria Publishing, Even though Alexander Hamilton was among the most important Founding Fathers, less is known about his early life than that of any other major Founder. Relatively few records have been found regarding Hamilton's birth, childhood, and origins in the West Indies. Alexander Hamilton "rarely . . . dwelt upon his personal history" and never recorded his life's story. Most of Hamilton's correspondence prior to 1777 was lost during the American Revolution. This has resulted in many gaps in Alexander Hamilton's biography, which has given rise to much conjecture regarding the details of his life. Relying on new research and extensive analysis of the existing literature, Michael E. Newton presents a more comprehensive and accurate account of Alexander Hamilton's formative years. Despite being orphaned as a young boy and having his birth be "the subject of the most humiliating criticism," Alexander Hamilton used his intelligence, determination, and charisma to overcome his questionable origins and desperate situation. Hamilton worked for a mercantile company on St. Croix, moved to the mainland, penned political pamphlets, enlisted in the militia, commanded an artillery company, served as General Washington's "principal and most confidential aid" for four years, was given command of a battalion of light troops, and led the assault on Redoubt Ten at Yorktown. Thus, by the age of just twenty-five, Alexander Hamilton had proven himself to be one of the most intelligent, brave, hard-working, and patriotic Americans. Alexander Hamilton: The Formative Years tells the dramatic story of how this poor immigrant emerged from obscurity and transformed himself into the most remarkable Founding Father. In riveting detail, Michael E. Newton delivers a fresh and fascinating account of Alexander Hamilton's origins, youth, and indispensable services during the American Revolution., 758932, Countries & Regions, 758952, Africa, 758960, Australia & New Zealand, 758962, Canada, 758946, China, 758934, France, 758936, Germany, 758940, Italy, 758948, Japan, 758942, Russia, 758938, Spain, 758950, Central & South America, 758956, East & South East Asia, 758944, Europe, 758958, Indian Subcontinent, 758954, Middle East, 268021, Historical, 67, Biography, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 271411, Military History, 12447628031, Afghan War, 10755401, American Civil War, 12447622031, Ancient, 882510, Armed Forces, 772172, Crimean War, 276872, Encyclopaedias & Pictorials, 771748, Falklands War, 771774, Gulf War, 12447623031, Iraq War, 771772, Korean War, 12447624031, Medieval War, 276564, Military Intelligence & Espionage, 276570, Military Life & Institutions, 271417, Napoleonic Wars, 276578, Prisoners of War, 496844, Strategy, Tactics & Military Science, 12447625031, Vehicles, 12447626031, Veterans, 771770, Vietnam War, 276580, War Crimes, 12447627031, War of 1812, 271427, Weapons & Warfare, 271431, World War I, 10959961, World War II 1939-1945, 772158, Hundred Years' War, 65, History, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 772168, Revolution & Founding, 271565, United States, 12447484031, Americas, 65, History, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 12447492031, 18th Century, 271565, United States, 12447484031, Americas, 65, History, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books<
