Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Spring 2004. 150 Pages. No defects noted and interior text pages are near flawless. On July 11, 1804, Alexander Hamilton boarded a boat in New York City with two friends and four oarsmen, and headed up the Hudson River to Weehawken, New Jersey, where he was to meet Aaron Burr for the famous duel that would end Hamilton's life. As the sun rose and the boat pulled out into the current, he looked back at lower Manhattan and said, It's going to be a great city someday. Thus, Alexander Hamilton, New York, and the way the past is charted by acknowledging an anniversary are the overlapping themes that tie this issue together. This was the scene described by Ron Chernow, when he talked about his biography. Contents: On Anniversaries, Why Hamilton? Why Now?, Alexander Hamilton: Slavery and Race in a Revolutionary Generation, The Education of Alexander Hamilton, Hamilton and the Federalist Financial Revolution 1789-1795, Dueling as Politics: The Burr-Hamilton Duel, Hamilton's Last Hours, Hamilton's Physician: David Hosack, Renaissance Man of Early New York, An Interview with Ron Chernow, The Subway at 100, Central Park's Sunken Treasure, How Easily We Forget: The General Slocum Disaster, America's Central Palace of Pleasure: 125 Years at Madison Square Garden, Times Square: The Devil's Playground, Books in Brief, The Constitution, Museum Collections Highlights Library Collections Highlights, Departments of the N-YHS Exhibitions Staff , and Hamilton!

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. From the Introduction: ""NEGROES, TO BE SOLD." This headline from a 1768 New York City newspaper advertisement can strike a modern reader as shocking, offensive, or even implausible. Yet black people indeed were sold as slaves in Manhattan. Largely overlooked in school textbooks, this fact is something that the New-York Historical Society seeks to explain and interpret in its ambitious pair of exhibitions, "Slavery in New York."" . . . Color card-stock covers (die-cut), and illustrated throughout with b/w illustrations and photographs. One small corner bump.
