Cut down by a bullet from political rival Aaron Burr, Hamilton has since been immortalized alongside other Founding Fathers such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson—his likeness even appears on the ten-dollar bill. In this fully-illustrated and impeccably researched graphic novel-style history, author Jonathan Hennessey and comic book illustrator Justin Greenwood bring Alexander Hamilton’s world to life, telling the story of this improbable hero who helped shape the United States of America.PROLOGUE ★ 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ei Let Candid Men Judge ★ 11\u003cbr\u003eii The Terms on Which These Lands Were Really Dispensed ★ 13\u003cbr\u003eiii There Are Strong Minds in Every Walk of Life That WillRise Superior to the Disadvantages of Situation ★ 21\u003cbr\u003eiv No Man Can Command the Winds ★ 29\u003cbr\u003ev A Friend to America ★ 41\u003cbr\u003evi Where the Danger Is the Most Pressing and Imminent ★ 55\u003cbr\u003evii By Virtue of Powers from His Excellency General Washington ★ 66\u003cbr\u003eviii The Line of Conduct Proscribed to Us ★ 72\u003cbr\u003eix Amidst My Amorous Transports ★ 82\u003cbr\u003ex Those Solid Arrangements of Finance,on Which Our Safety Depends ★ 86\u003cbr\u003exi A Scene of Blackest Treason ★ 88\u003cbr\u003exii In the Enthusiasm of Heroic Valor ★ 91\u003cbr\u003exiii The Universal Reluctance of These Statesto Do What Is Right ★ 97\u003cbr\u003exiv To Make Our Independence a Blessing ★ 107\u003cbr\u003exv Rearing the Superstructure of American Greatness ★ 116\u003cbr\u003exvi Some Concert between the Husband and the Wife ★ 129\u003cbr\u003exvii The Machinations of Factious and Intriguing Men ★ 134\u003cbr\u003exviii Means of Intimidation ★ 139\u003cbr\u003exix The Circumstances Disclosed ★ 144\u003cbr\u003exx Great Souls Care Little about Small Matters ★ 150\u003cbr\u003exxi The Cup of Sorrow ★ 157\u003cbr\u003exxii My Life Must Be Exposed to That Man ★ 160\u003cb\u003eSelected for the American Library Association's 2018 Great Graphic Novels for Teens\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"There’s loads to be learned here, and any Hamilton addict will\u003cbr\u003eeagerly eat it up. . .worthy of high praise.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\". . . a timely portrait of the famous and controversial \u003ci\u003eAlexander Hamilton.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e—Library Journal (\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenre Spotlight: Graphic Novels)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"For fans of the stage show who are looking to dive deeper into the real history that inspired it, \u003ci\u003eAlexander Hamilton: The Graphic History Of An American Founding Father \u003c\/i\u003eis just what you need on your TBR.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003cb\u003e—\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eBustle\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Unpacking the history behind the high-energy Broadway megahit Hamilton, this focused biography will get teen through adult readers to ask questions about the country’s past and \u003cbr\u003epresent.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Library Journal \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e(Review)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdvance praise for \u003ci\u003eAlexander Hamilton\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yo, yo, yo, check out this book\u003cbr\u003eIt’s amazing and cool and has a baller look.\u003cbr\u003eGet on down to an LCS in your neighborhood\u003cbr\u003eHave your mind blown by Hennessey \/ Greenwood.\u003cbr\u003eThis ain’t no U.S. propaganda \u003cbr\u003eIt’s the best \u003ci\u003eHamilton\u003c\/i\u003e since L.M.
