On this episode of Our American Stories, Alexander Hamilton is one of the most controversial and misunderstood Founding Fathers in American history. A brilliant yet complex figure, his ideas helped shape the nation’s financial system, government, and legacy. Historian Ron Chernow—author of the New York Times bestselling biography Alexander Hamilton, which inspired the hit Broadway musical—shares the true story behind the man, the myth, and the musical. We want to thank the Library of Congress for allowing us and our nation access to this wonderful audio, originally from a book talk back in 2018.
