Alexander Hamilton: From Immigrant Boy to Founding Father - Heroes of Liberty

Alexander Hamilton was just a teenager when he arrived on American shores from the faraway Caribbean island of Nevis. He had already been abandoned by his father and had lost his mother to yellow fever. He was all alone. And yet, within a few years he became a leading patriot, an army officer in the Continental Army, and one of George Washington's closest aids. He would go on to become one of the Founding Fathers of a great new nation: The United States of America. This is the incredible story of a poor immigrant boy who rose to become a world historical figure.
