"Set against the dramatic backdrop of the American Revolution, and featuring a cast of iconic characters such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and the Marquis de Lafayette, The Hamilton Affair tells the sweeping, tumultuous, true love story of Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler, from tremulous beginning to bittersweet ending--his at a dueling ground on the shores of the Hudson River, hers more than half a century later after a brave, successful life"--Back cover.
Hamilton was a bastard and orphan, raised in the Caribbean and desperate for legitimacy. Elizabeth was the wealthy, beautiful, adventurous daughter of the respectable Schuyler clan, and a pioneering advocate for women. Together, the unlikely couple braved the dangers of war, the perils of seduction, the anguish of infidelity, and the scourge of partisanship that menaced their family and the country itself. -- adapted from jacket of hardcover edition
