7This pocket-sized hardcover book contains nearly one hundred quotations from one of America's most important Founding Fathers, Alexander Hamilton. Among his many accolades, Hamilton was senior aide to General Washington in the Revolutionary War, founded the Bank of New York, was a major contributor to The Federalist Papers, was the country's first Secretary of the Treasury, and advocated for a strong central government. Famous for fatally losing a duel with Aaron Burr in 1804 and, most recently, being the subject of a hit Broadway play, Hamilton's ideas and words remain thought-provoking and influential today.
