Synopsis
Excerpt from The Conqueror, Vol. 1 of 2: Being the True and Romantic Story of Alexander Hamilton
Skeleton I unearthed in the 'old Common Records and Church Registers, still the fact remains that I did find the skeleton, which I have emphasised as far as is artistically possible. NO date is given nor deed referred to that cannot be found by other visitors to the Islands. More over, I made a careful study of these Islands as they were in the time of Hamilton and his maternal ancestors, that I might be enabled to exercise one of the leading principles of the novelist, which is to create character not only out of certain well-known facts of heredity, but out of understood conditions. In this case I had, in addition, an extensive knowledge of Hamilton's character to work backward from, as well as his estimate of the friends of his youth and of his mother. Therefore I feel confident that I have held my romancing propensity well within the horizon of the probabilities; at all events, I have depicted nothing which in any way interferes with the veracity of history. However, having unburdened my imagination, I Shall, in the course of a year or two, write the biography I first had in mind. No writer, indeed, could assume a more delightful task than to chronicle, in any form, Hamilton's stupendous services to this country and his infinite variety. G. F. A.
