Citizen Hamilton: The Wit and Wisdom of an American FounderRowman & Littlefield, 2006 - 177 páginas A man of extraordinary talent and boundless energy, Alexander Hamilton left a remarkable legacy in America's history. A member of George Washington's staff during the American Revolution, a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, an author of the Federalist Papers, and the nation's first secretary of the treasury, he played a seminal role in the nation's founding. In this elegant collection, Donald R. Hickey and Connie D. Clark bring together enlightening, important, and amusing selections from Hamilton's speeches, published writings and personal letters. As we come to understand Hamilton's thoughts on subjects as diverse as the Constitution, love, war, liberty and honor, we find that his words are often as applicable in our own time as they were in his.
