N2  - The musical Hamilton might have wowed Broadway in 2015, but Alexander Hamilton first took America by storm more than 200 years ago. Growing up poor on the Caribbean Island of Nevis, Hamilton defied the odds by becoming a great thinker and writer. In New York, Hamilton found a world of opportunity, becoming an important part of the American Revolution and an architect of the new nation's system of government; "Alexander Hamilton is known not only for his political brilliance, but also for his strong principles and astonishing achievements. In this biography for kids 8-12, read about how, from humble beginnings as an orphan, Hamilton defied all the odds and made a lasting name for himself in many arenas, including politics, finance, and the military."-- Amazon.com
