I LOVED THIS OMG!!! This book, in fact was written by Alexander Hamilton's own grandson, and it shows many details about his private life. I almost laughed hard at a point, since there was so much feeling it was scary. But this shows the actual personality of Hamilton, and his actual features. A lot of books said different things about his appearance, but in fact he had coppery-brown hair and deep blue eyes that would most likely make anyone fall in love. It is great, you should read it, end of story.

I read the kindle edition which does not have the best formatting, however I've seen worse. This is a very interesting view of hamilton written by his Grandson a hundred years later, who was the son of Hamilton's youngest, Phillip, who was just a few years old when he died. We are presented a view of the man that is presented through family stories, and letters that have been kept in the family. Probably a bit biased, but an interesting read to see how those who loved him best saw him.
