Eliza Hamilton : the extraordinary life and times of the wife of Alexander Hamilton

Summary: A strong pioneer woman, a loving sister, a caring mother, and in her later years, a generous philanthropist, Elizabeth "Eliza" Schuyler Hamilton had many sides. Mazzeo follows Eliza through her early years in New York, into the ups and downs of her married life with Alexander, beyond the aftermath of his tragic murder, and finally to her involvement in many projects that cemented her legacy as one of the unsung heroes of our nation's early days. -- adapted from publisher info
