"Alexander Hamilton was a crucial player in the Revolutionary War, the development of the Constitution, and the establishment of the U.S. Treasury and banking as we know them today. Cut down by a bullet from political rival Aaron Burr, Hamilton is remembered not just for his historical significance, but also for his lasting impact on American society. Author Jonathan Hennessey and illustrator Justin Greenwood have catpured in visual form the biography of this quintessential American hero, along with the events, people, and places present for the birth of the United States." --back cover.
