Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Spring 2004. 150 Pages. No defects noted and interior text pages are near flawless. On July 11, 1804, Alexander Hamilton boarded a boat in New York City with two friends and four oarsmen, and headed up the Hudson River to Weehawken, New Jersey, where he was to meet Aaron Burr for the famous duel that would end Hamilton's life. As the sun rose and the boat pulled out into the current, he looked back at lower Manhattan and said, It's going to be a great city someday. Thus, Alexander Hamilton, New York, and the way the past is charted by acknowledging an anniversary are the overlapping themes that tie this issue together. This was the scene described by Ron Chernow, when he talked about his biography. Contents: On Anniversaries, Why Hamilton?
