[Harrison Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

Purchased this little book while on vacation in Hawaii a couple of years ago after seeing the musical Hamilton, and thinking that I needed to know a little bit more about this founder. It is a breeze to read, with a brief introductory biography and containing quotes dealing with "human nature," "government," and simply "life." A particularly interesting letter -- clearly in the "wit" category -- chastises founder John Laurens of having "taken advantage of my sensibility to steal into my affections without my consent." Not sure we could get that across today in emojis . . .

I don't really know how to rate this- I read this book of quotes for the anniversary of the duel.

This was a very small (gift, stocking stuffer) book. It read easily with interesting quotes and have several nice illustrations.

So good! I was able to decipher the meaning on a handful of the qoutes, but I'll definitely read this again someday when I have a better understanding!
