I never gave much thought to him until recently.
I read an add in NR last year: "I bet you 10 bucks you don't REALLY know Alexander Hamilton"
So I took the bait and spent a day at the New York Historical museum - they had a two-person play on his life (very well done), and a great exhibit narrated by Richard Brookhiser.
I knew he was both brilliant and a fierce warrior, but never realized that HIS was the passion behind George washington's speeches.
The more I read the more he became my favorite "Founding Father".
