This is a well-written, thoroughly researched, and informative biography of James Alexander Hamilton, the son of Eliza and Alexander Hamilton.
I enjoyed learning of the many parallels between the lives of James Alexander and his brilliant father, and appreciated the glimpses into his family life. I was fascinated to learn of the many public offices held by James Alexander, the contributions that he made to society, and of his interactions with the presidents and political figures throughout his many years of laudable service. Ms. Wilcoxson brought to life James Alexander's dedication and duty to his country, and his commendable actions to preserve his father's memory and legacy.
The author's footnotes, bibliography, personal photographs of related historic sites, and photos of James Alexander's family portraits enhanced this biography and are truly appreciated.
Many thanks to Ms. Wilcoxson, Pen & Sword Books, and NetGalley, from whom I received an advanced reader copy of this fabulous book. This is my honest opinion.
