Some of the New Discoveries to be Found In Alexander Hamilton: The Formative Years

Over the next several weeks, as��Alexander Hamilton: The Formative Years is prepped for publication and its Kickstarter campaign raises funds for publication, I’ll be��compiling a list of some of the new discoveries that are to be found in the book. Today, I present to you ��two discoveries regarding Alexander Hamilton that have never before been revealed to the public.

As a fourteen-year-old working for Nicholas Cruger in St. Croix, Alexander Hamilton��wrote to John Wendell, the mercantile partner of John Hancock (the future President of Congress and Governor of Massachusetts), regarding money ���Mr. Hancock has not sent us.���


Alexander Hamilton���s famous account of the West Indian hurricane of 1772, which was originally published in St. Croix���s The Royal Danish American Gazette,��was reprinted in a Boston newspaper in December 1772. Alexander Hamilton apparently never knew this. Neither did his family. Neither has any historian or biographer prior to now.
