About this audiobook
Alexander Hamilton
Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804) was an American statesman, legal scholar, military leader, lawyer, and economist. After serving as a senior aide to General George Washington during the American Revolutionary War, Hamilton practiced law and founded the Bank of New York. As the need to replace the confederal government became apparent, Hamilton advocated for a Constitutional Convention to be held in Philadelphia. Following the convention, Hamilton wrote 51 of the 85 Federalist Papers, essays and articles intended to promote the ratification of the new Constitution. He then served as head of the Treasury Department under President Washington, later campaigning for Thomas Jefferson’s presidential nomination. In 1804, following a dispute, Hamilton was killed in a duel by politician and lawyer Aaron Burr.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Hamilton was a powerful, ambitious man. A soft-spoken female voice is impossible to listen to for this book.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Loved that this was on audiobook because I quickly got through several of the letters for my class. It’s important to note that there are multiple readers for this one and it switched between female and male voices. I liked it though because it really distinguished each letter for me so that I knew I was starting a new one.
