Alexander Hamilton: From Immigrant Boy to Founding Father

Alexander Hamilton is one of America's best loved Founding Fathers, but his story has many twists and turns. His life was one of adventure and achievement, starting with humble beginnings on the Caribbean island of Nevis, as he worked hard to distinguish himself. Hamilton’s bravery in battle caught the eye of General Washington who took him on as an aide. It was the first step in a political career that shaped the very nation of America herself, thanks to Hamilton’s firm belief that the Constitution would hold the United States together as a nation. With richly detailed full color illustrations, the Heroes of Liberty book series provides entertaining, story-driven biographies of American leaders who have embodied the values of freedom, faith, and family.  46 pages, hardcover. Ages 7 to 12.
