Alexander Hamilton – hinnat ja saatavuus

Discover the inspiring story of Alexander Hamilton, the Founding Father, political trailblazer, and modern-day icon. Alexander Hamilton's childhood was characterized by loss and hardship. Yet with a little help and a lot of tenacity, he travelled to America to pursue an education. Aged 15 he arrived in New York City as an immigrant and an orphan. He studied hard and became known for his intelligence, wit, and impressive rhetorical skills. He was soon swept up in the revolutionary cause and joined the army. During the Revolutionary War he became a close friend of George Washington and after America gained independence, he trained as a lawyer, founded a national bank and was appointed to Congress. As a politician, he co-wrote the highly influential Federalist papers and later became the first Secretary of the Treasury. Alexander was one of the lesser-known Founding Fathers, until Lin-Manuel Miranda's smash-hit musical Hamilton catapulted him to global fame, sharing his incredible story with millions.
