Fiction

Just finished this; it is a novel told in Eliza Hamilton's voice; she was called "Mrs. General Hamilton". Her very long life started before the revolution up until Lincoln's time in Washington. Most interesting to me was the reminder that the years during the time between the ending of the war, during the writing of the Constitution, and setting up the government were filled with strife, division, back-biting, and vengeful words and actions between the main actors, the founders, and their constituents - and Alexander Hamilton, his wife and family, were in the thick of it the whole time. I recommend this book for a slightly personal view of early American history.
