Alexander Hamilton at the Library of Congress
The largest collection of Alexander Hamilton's papers is here at the Library of Congress. These selections document Hamilton's Caribbean boyhood, his service in the American Revolution, his marriage, his contribution to the crafting of the federal Constitution, his critical role as the first treasury secretary of the United States, and the duel that took his life. The letters on display provided inspiration for the award-winning musical, Hamilton: An American Musical. |
