Alexander Hamilton (1757-1804) is with us every day, in our wallets, on the $10 bill. But he is with us in another sense, for, more than any other Founder, he foresaw the America we live in now. He shaped the young United States' financial, political, and legal systems. This CD will take you through a virtual tour of the New-York Historical Society's exhibition on Hamilton, with documents and objects relating to his life.
For more than 225 years the principle of freedom and our understanding of its implications have evolved dramatically. This CD presents documents and images from the Gilder Lehrman Collection and invites you to read the words and see the images of the men and women who forged this nation, providing insights into the complexity of the past.
