Orphaned at a young age, this remarkable young man with a keen and nimble mind immigrated to the colonies from the West Indies, just as the patriots' cause caught fire. He served as Washington's aide-de-camp during the American Revolutionary War, and fought heroically in the battle of Yorktown. He went onto help his fellow Founding Fathers as the first Secretary of the Treasury. 20190103. Hamilton, Alexander, 1755-1804. Founding Fathers. U.S. Treasury History. Sterling Biographies.
