Summary of Phillip Thomas Tucker's Alexander Hamilton's Revolution

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 James Hamilton, a Scottish merchant, had met Rachel in the Leeward Island of St. Kitts in 1750. They lived an unconventional lifestyle together for about fifteen years, until Rachel was unable to legitimize their relationship in legal terms. #2 After nearly a decade of fleeing St. Croix, Lavien filed for divorce in 1759 in order to protect his one legitimate heir, Peter Lavien, while ensuring that Alexander and James were declared bastard and whore children' who could never legally inherit any of his property.
#3 Alexander Hamilton's life in Nevis, until age ten, and then Christiansted, St. Croix, was filled with the sights and sounds of the busy wharf and dock: noisy fishermen and sailors from around the world, black slaves, stately royal palms and orange trees loaded with ripe fruit, and flocks of low-flying brown pelicans. #4 Alexander's early experiences on St. Croix shaped his character and made him hate slavery.
The world of the Danish West Indies shaped and molded the man destined to become one of America's most beloved Founding Fathers.
