Alexander Hamilton--born in St. Croix, Founding Father, very brilliiant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Hamilton

I've read The Federalist Papers and right now reading Ron Chernow's book again--that is continuing to read--I bought a used copy in 2015.

Ending is very sad.

Have not seen Broadway show.

Will look for movie version.

I'm not sure I will like the music and also I don't travel to NY or anywhere now, even though a friend offered to take me to see Hamilton the Broadway play and even to stay at anyone of her 2 homes--

Sorry about that.
