Download or read book Alexander Hamilton written by Ron Chernow and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2005-03-29 with total page 834 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestseller, and the inspiration for the hit Broadway musical Hamilton! Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ron Chernow presents a landmark biography of Alexander Hamilton, the Founding Father who galvanized, inspired, scandalized, and shaped the newborn nation. "Grand-scale biography at its best—thorough, insightful, consistently fair, and superbly written . . . A genuinely great book." —David McCullough “A robust full-length portrait, in my view the best ever written, of the most brilliant, charismatic and dangerous founder of them all." —Joseph Ellis Few figures in American history have been more hotly debated or more grossly misunderstood than Alexander Hamilton. Chernow’s biography gives Hamilton his due and sets the record straight, deftly illustrating that the political and economic greatness of today’s America is the result of Hamilton’s countless sacrifices to champion ideas that were often wildly disputed during his time. “To repudiate his legacy,” Chernow writes, “is, in many ways, to repudiate the modern world.” Chernow here recounts Hamilton’s turbulent life: an illegitimate, largely self-taught orphan from the Caribbean, he came out of nowhere to take America by storm, rising to become George Washington’s aide-de-camp in the Continental Army, coauthoring The Federalist Papers, founding the Bank of New York, leading the Federalist Party, and becoming the first Treasury Secretary of the United States.Historians have long told the story of America’s birth as the triumph of Jefferson’s democratic ideals over the aristocratic intentions of Hamilton. Chernow presents an entirely different man, whose legendary ambitions were motivated not merely by self-interest but by passionate patriotism and a stubborn will to build the foundations of American prosperity and power. His is a Hamilton far more human than we’ve encountered before—from his shame about his birth to his fiery aspirations, from his intimate relationships with childhood friends to his titanic feuds with Jefferson, Madison, Adams, Monroe, and Burr, and from his highly public affair with Maria Reynolds to his loving marriage to his loyal wife Eliza. And never before has there been a more vivid account of Hamilton’s famous and mysterious death in a duel with Aaron Burr in July of 1804. Chernow’s biography is not just a portrait of Hamilton, but the story of America’s birth seen through its most central figure. At a critical time to look back to our roots, Alexander Hamilton will remind readers of the purpose of our institutions and our heritage as Americans. 9780143034759
Download or read book Contraband Guides written by Paul H. D. Kaplan and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his best-selling travel memoir, The Innocents Abroad, Mark Twain punningly refers to the black man who introduces him to Venetian Renaissance painting as a “contraband guide,” a term coined to describe fugitive slaves who assisted Union armies during the Civil War. By means of this and similar case studies, Paul H. D. Kaplan documents the ways in which American cultural encounters with Europe and its venerable artistic traditions influenced nineteenth-century concepts of race in the United States. Americans of the Civil War era were struck by the presence of people of color in European art and society, and American artists and authors, both black and white, adapted and transformed European visual material to respond to the particular struggles over the identity of African Americans. Taking up the work of both well- and lesser-known artists and writers—such as the travel writings of Mark Twain and William Dean Howells, the paintings of German American Emanuel Leutze, the epistolary exchange between John Ruskin and Charles Eliot Norton, newspaper essays written by Frederick Douglass and William J. Wilson, and the sculpture of freed slave Eugène Warburg—Kaplan lays bare how racial attitudes expressed in mid-nineteenth-century American art were deeply inflected by European traditions. By highlighting the contributions people of black African descent made to the fine arts in the United States during this period, along with the ways in which they were represented, Contraband Guides provides a fresh perspective on the theme of race in Civil War–era American art. It will appeal to art historians, to specialists in African American studies and American studies, and to general readers interested in American art and African American history.

Download or read book Hamilton written by Marie Raphael and published by Union Square + ORM. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illustrated biography of the Founding Father and first Secretary of the Treasury by the acclaimed authors of The Spirit of ’74. An illegitimate child born in the Caribbean, who arrived in America as a near-penniless teenager, Alexander Hamilton did not seem to have much in common with the rest of the Founding Fathers. But the audacious young immigrant quickly proved himself in the cauldron of revolutionary fervor gripping the colonies in the 1770s. After proving himself in the Revolution as an artillery officer and aide to George Washington, Hamilton became one of the foremost architects of the new United States of America. He wrote many of the Federalist Papers, established the first national bank, and became first Secretary of the Treasury before losing his life in a duel. In Hamilton, veteran historians Marie Raphael and Ray Raphael explain how Hamilton’s strong personality, quicksilver intellect, and taste for combat played into the contentious arguments over what kind of country the young republic would become. The debate between Thomas Jefferson’s decentralized approach to democracy and Hamilton’s belief in a strong federal government is still being argued today. Vividly written and fully illustrated, including many colorful and rarely seen pieces of art, Hamilton is a powerful testament to one of the most illustrious figures of American history. Praise for The Spirit of ’74: How the American Revolution Began “[A] concise, lively narrative . . . the authors expertly build tension.” —Publishers Weekly “The Raphaels tell this dramatic story in a fascinating and very readable manner.” —Journal of the American Revolution

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The God Child by Dawn Greenfield Ireland is sort of like The Green Mile meets The Golden Child. This is a screenplay in book format. The script is 100 pages. Logline: Colonel Bastrop suspects 7-year-old Deidre Lyons is God. Synopsis: A government alert pings during an emergency C-section on Ruth Tovar Lyons. She knows she’s dying. Ruth begs the doctor to contact her sister Lily in New Mexico and not let the government take the baby. Colonel Bastrop doesn’t think any special skills will show up for a couple of years. Steve Plant, a former GI (30s), practices Qi Gong at a Myanmar monastery with a blind Tibetan master, along with Da-wa Wangdu (30s), Steve’s sidekick. Steve finds no peace in the session and does the movements as payment for his sins. Josh Corlander, scar-faced former military from Colonel Bastrop’s unit, sits in a bunker in Colorado. He watches activity surrounding his former commander. One month later in the neonatal ICU, strange things begin to happen. Nurse Lucy, with a large strawberry mark on her face and arm, picks Deidre up. The baby grabs Lucy’s finger. There is a soft glow no one notices. Nurse Minnie gasps. Lucy’s strawberry marks are gone. Colonel Bastrop sends in Homeland Security and the FBI. They take the baby, confiscate all cell phones, scrub the hospital files. Lily Tovar is hidden amid the crowd outside the NICU window. 7 years later in a house in the woods, Susanne and Gordon, scientists who are responsible for Deidre’s care, record sessions with her about the universe, life, and death. Since her fourth birthday, no one has been able to physically touch her without getting shocked, or killed. Josh sends his commandos to bring Deidre in. Susanne is killed. Deidre escapes to the forest, and Gordon is captured. Steve and Da-wa are apprehended at the airport. Bastrop tells Steve to find the girl and bring her back. Steve and Da-wa meet Lily. She accompanies them. They find Deidre in the woods with bears, wolves, a cougar, and a fox. Deidre brings Susanne back from the dead. They go to Colorado to rescue Gordon. The government realizes there isn’t a fortress or bunker that could hold Deidre against her will. One thought from her could annihilate all life on the planet. And she’s only seven years old.
