The real Alexander Hamilton

By WND Staff

Alexander Hamilton — the man on the $10 bill, who signed the
Constitution, authored roughly two thirds of the Federalist Papers,
served in Washington’s army as a colonel, was a New York assemblyman, a
congressman, and at the age of 32 became America’s first treasury
secretary — was at the age of 11 a poor, illegitimate orphan from the
West Indies.

Richard Brookhiser, well known for his previous books, including
“Founding Father: Rediscovering George Washington,” last year released
what may be the most insightful biography yet of one of America’s most
misunderstood founders: “Alexander Hamilton, American.”
