Re: RIP Alexander Hamilton
Actually, someone should write a miniseries about him; there's a lot more than the musical summarized. That should be as popular as the John Adams one. (What the John Adams miniseries left out is that my 4th great-grandfather, Peter Etter, used to have afternoon tea and political discussions with him often before Peter was forced to move to Nova Scotia in 1776.)Vandal wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 11:18 amAnniversary time: 217 years ago yesterday, July 11, 1804, Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton "rowed across the Hudson at dawn' for their infamous duel.

When I worked at the Citigroup office in Weehawken, I went to the reenactment of the duel that they hold every year.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
