Heroes of Liberty

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.

When the Civil War brought his career to an end, he picked up a pen instead.  He wrote the story of young America as the country roared into action, from sea to shining sea.  From the big cities of the east to the wilds of the west, his words made it all come alive.

Tough on his enemies, loyal to his friends, a gentleman with women, and deeply committed to those he loves. This was the kind of man Duke loved to play and throughout his acting career, the characters he played stayed true to John ‘Duke’ Wayne’s idea of what a man should be: they always acted honorably to both men and women alike. They would never shoot anyone in the back. And they should always be tough but fair, not just when it’s easy, but also when it’s hard.
