 Ron Chernow : Alexander Hamilton Book Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Hamilton centralized the debts, turning all of the state debts into the responsibility of the federal government.
Critics charged that Hamilton was in fact institutionalizing the debt and insuring that it not only would never be completely paid off, but would also be used as a way for the federal government to try to manipulate the economy.
Since Hamilton’s agenda was to strengthen the central government, bolster the executive branch at the expense of the legislature, and subordinate the sate, it embodied everything Jefferson abhorred,” he writes.

 Interview | Steve Hamilton
Hamilton is currently at work on his fifth McKnight book, Blood Is the Sky, scheduled for publication in the spring of 2003.
Hamilton has so far eschewed the high-caliber pyrotechnics of many contemporary novels -- action that emphasizes the heroic elements of this genre, but too often stretches believability.
Hamilton's storytelling turf is the connection between friends, the making and breaking of bonds.

Hamilton then travels to the colonies and while at first is discouraged because he was not able to get into the college of his choice right away he plugs along and writes great little pamphlets.
Hamilton seems to often have the midas touch but at the same time he also tends to alienate a lot of people (which I guess is normal).
Hamilton was born in the Caribbean, suffered hardships from his illegimate birth, and by good fortune was, sponsored to the colonies---there was no US at the time.

 John Fraser - Writer At Work: Afterwords
Hamilton says that he himself was lucky in his career, and luck is certainly real.
Perhaps when Hamilton disclaims being a “serious” writer, he means, among other things, that he isn’t a depressive one, and that he writes a lucid and unmannered prose (at least until some distance into the Helm saga) that doesn’t presume to take us into the psychological depths of our collective being.
When Hamilton tells us that when he starts a novel he doesn’t know how it is going to end, this surely applies to the moral aspects as well as to the action ones.

 John Fraser - Writer At Work
So Hamilton, who was not a symbolist writer in that way, was able to keep unfussily adding details about this young man (this hero?) incrementally—without our feeling that we already know from the outset who and what he is and how we are expected to be viewing him.
Hamilton was a discoverer of guns and hunting, as he was of the cowboy West (using that term generically) that he carefully researched for his novels.
Hamilton was, perhaps, having a look at what can happen when a good guy steps a bit too readily, if understandably (his career in “sensitive” research is being wrecked by Marilyn) out of the box.

 Amazon.com: Books: ALEXANDER HAMILTON, American   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Hamilton was one of the epochal figures of the Revolutionary period?he collaborated with Madison on the Federalist papers, served as secretary of the treasury under Washington and, along with Jefferson, is largely responsible for the modern two-party system?but he was also one of the most controversial.
Beyond theory, it was Hamilton's concrete achievements as the first Secretary of the Treasury--founding the first National Bank, accepting responsibility for Colonial debt, and installing tariffs to provide a steady source of Federal revenues--that put the young nation on a sturdy financial footing and make him one of the greatest Cabinet Secretaries of all time.
Hamilton emerges as a man who saw the forest through the trees, one step ahead of his political opponents until they eventually caught up to him in the early 19th century.

 [No title]
The two swear words in Jefferson's time were 'democracy' and 'monarchy.' And though he inclined toward democracy and always said that Hamilton and Washington inclined toward monarchy, in fact he was the closest thing to a democrat, but he wasn't much of one.
Since Thomas Jefferson was the greatest gentleman of his period, he could not have done so either.
I don't know if Thomas Jefferson is a figure that's easy to hold to one's heart, as it were, in the way some people have managed to hold Franklin Roosevelt or Abraham Lincoln.

Serving as quartermaster on board the U.S.S. Cincinnati during the attack on the Vicksburg batteries and at the time of her sinking, 27 May 1863.

Conspicuously gallant during this action, Hamilton, severely wounded at the wheel, returned to his post and had to be sent below, to hear the incessant roar of guns as the gallant ship went down, "her colors nailed to the mast."
