The life of Alexander Hamilton is certainly one of great complexity and controversy and, as a result, has been of great interest to the general public for centuries. In the past two hundred years, there have been many accounts of Hamiltons lifemostly commenting on his political personality rather than his character, but none have touched upon the private life of the man quite like The Intimate Life of Alexander Hamilton.Drawn chiefly from collected original family letters and documents, some never published before this books initial publication in 1910, Hamiltons grandson Allan Mc Lane Hamilton presents a portrait of one of Americas chief founding fathers unlike any other, recounting the life of his grandfather with an unmatchable insiders eye. The author intimately discusses his grandfathers private affairs in great detail, dispelling many rumors about Hamiltons personal life. The book presents an astounding portrait of the man and his character, revealing a softness and charisma unknown to the public at the time of its publication. From primary sources so close to Hamilton they could very well be called heirlooms, Hamiltons private life and personality are described with a closeness only a member of his family could possibly provide.Return to this forgotten classic, and see what one of Americas most controversial historical figures was like behind closed doors in The Intimate Life of Alexander Hamilton.
