Alexander Hamilton: Writings (LOA #129) (Library of America Founders Collection)

An outstanding collection of Alexander Hamilton's many letters. I've always wanted this, and was thrilled when it arrived! Exactly what I was looking for!

Great book helped a lot with research project very informative .

If you've become Hamilton obsessed like the rest of the world, this is a great volume to own. I read Chernow's book, but was looking to read more complete writings than the edited snippets. I don't know that I can read the whole thing - people used to be a lot better at reading dense material than I apparently am, but I will pick my way through much of it eventually!

Considering there are 27 volumes of Hamilton writings at Columbia University, I can understand that it would be difficult to decide what to include. The book is 1100 pages as it is, including The Reynolds Pamphlet and almost all of The Federalist essays. However, I wish they could have included the Funeral Address; there wasn't a dry eye in the house, and they included two statements about the Duel by other authors. More of his letters to Angelica Church would also have been nice.

He’s wrote so much I’m glad I can read it
