i love alexander hamilton (the ACTUAL hamilton, not lin manuel miranda in 18th century clothing) more than anything in this world. if you think you love him more than me you are 100% wrong, and should probably not follow me.

ー

some of my favorite writings of his are:

the continentalist essays, a full vindication of the measures of congress (because the full title makes me laugh), federalist no. 1, hope for a wife (a letter; not a published writing, but so hilarious it deserves to be included), a break with washington (also a letter but IT MAKES ME CRY), the reports on public credit, a national bank and manufacturers, and the reynolds pamphlet (only because it's so preposterous it becomes highly entertaining).

ー

some of my favorite biographical writings concerning him are:

'alexander hamilton', ron chernow (i'm a basic bitch okay), 'jefferson and hamilton: the rivalry that forged a nation', john ferling, and 'the essential hamilton', joanne b. freeman.

ー

my favorite hamilton portraits are:

this one from 1792 by john trumbull,

and this one from 1806 (after the ceracchi bust, hamilton was dead by then), also by john trumbull.

if you decide to follow me be prepared to see a lot of hamilton related stuff being posted. i know it's really annoying but he's my man, sorry.
