November 19, 2015 You Can Buy Alexander Hamilton Jr.’s Home for $12M By Zachary Kussin You might not get tickets to see “Hamilton” on Broadway anytime soon, but at least you can spend some money on a solid piece of Hamilton family history. A landmarked, mixed-use townhouse at 4 St. Mark’s Place, whose first owner was Alexander Hamilton, Jr., will hit the market this week for $11.9 million, The Post can reveal. Hamilton Jr. bought this building — known as the Hamilton-Holly House — in 1833 from its developer, Thomas E. Davis. (Davis basically developed all of St. Mark’s in the 19th century.) Three decades after father’s death in the infamous duel with Aaron Burr, Hamilton Jr. shared this spread with family members, including his wife, Eliza, and his mother, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton. She, of course, was the widow of Post founder Alexander Hamilton. A rare surviving, intact building from the Federal period, 4 St. Mark’s is more recently known as the home of punk fashion retailer Trash and Vaudeville, which will be moving to a new location. In the ‘50s and ‘60s, the building housed performance art venues, including the Bridge Theater, which hosted Yoko Ono and The Fugs. In all, the building measures over 10,000 square feet. The first floor and lower level have 5,668 square feet of retail; four market-rate apartments round out the package. Eastern Consolidated’s Ron Solarz and Nataliya Stelmakh are marketing the property, with Gary Meese as the analyst for the deal. .

My Dear Hamilton William Morrow Paperbacks by Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie ISBN: 9780062466167
Reading Guide My Dear Hamilton William Morrow Paperbacks By Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie ISBN: 9780062466167 Introduction From the New York Times bestselling authors of America’s First Daughter comes the epic story of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton—a revolutionary woman who, like her new nation, struggled to define herself in the wake of war, betrayal, and tragedy. Haunting, moving, and beautifully written, Dray and Kamoie used thousands of letters and original sources to tell Eliza’s story as it’s never been told before—not just as the wronged wife at the center of a political sex scandal—but also as a founding mother who shaped an American legacy in her own right. Coming of age on the perilous frontier of revolutionary New York, Elizabeth Schuyler champions the fight for independence. And when she meets Alexander Hamilton, Washington’s penniless but passionate aide-de-camp, she’s captivated by the young officer’s charisma and brilliance. They fall in love, despite Hamilton’s bastard birth and the uncertainties of war. But the union they create—in their marriage and the new nation—is far from perfect. From glittering inaugural balls to bloody street riots, the Hamiltons are at the center of it all—including the political treachery of America’s first sex scandal, which forces Eliza to struggle through heartbreak and betrayal to find forgiveness. When a duel destroys Eliza’s hard-won peace, the grieving widow fights her husband’s enemies to preserve Alexander’s legacy. But long-buried secrets threaten everything Eliza believes about her marriage and her own legacy.

Alexander Hamilton and the Development of American Law
Alexander Hamilton and the Development of American Law Katherine Elizabeth Brown Amherst, New York Master of Arts in American History, University of Virginia, 2012 Master of Arts in American History, University at Buffalo, 2010 Bachelor of Science in Applied Economics and Management, Cornell University, 2004 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia May, 2015 This dissertation is dedicated to the memory of Matthew and Theresa Mytnik, my Rana and Boppa. i ABSTRACT ―Alexander Hamilton and the Development of American Law,‖ is the first comprehensive, scholarly analysis of Alexander Hamilton‘s influence on American jurisprudence, and it provides a new approach to our understanding of the growth of federal judicial and executive power in the new republic. By exploring Hamilton's policy objectives through the lens of the law, my dissertation argues that Hamilton should be understood and evaluated as a foundational lawmaker in the early republic. He used his preferred legal toolbox, the corpus of the English common law, to make lasting legal arguments about the nature of judicial and executive power in republican governments, the boundaries of national versus state power, and the durability of individual rights. Not only did Hamilton combine American and inherited English principles to accomplish and legitimate his statecraft, but, in doing so, Hamilton had a profound influence on the substance of American law,

Walking Tour of the Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery
A Walking Tour of the Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery A BRIEF EARLY HISTORY OF THE CEMETERY In the middle decades of the nineteenth century, a revolution took place in the manner in which Americans viewed death and burial. "Rural cemeteries" replaced church yards and family plots as the burial place of choice, and the Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery was part of this revolution. Even though they were nearly always located near growing urban areas, these cemeteries were called "rural" because their carefully landscaped grounds embodied a respect for nature, and provided a respite from the chaotic bustle of the city. In December 1852, a committee was formed to seek land for a new cemetery for the city of Poughkeepsie, as it was evident that the local church yard burial grounds would soon be filled. Among the members of the committee was local brewer Matthew Vassar, who later founded Vassar College. The committee first considered °a parcel of fifty acres of land on the east side of Academy Street, which Vassar purchased for $8000, with the intent of then selling it to the subscribers of the cemetery. Not enough subscribers could be found for this land and the committee decided to look for another location. Vassar then built his summer home, named Springside and designed by landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing, on this site. The cemetery committee finally decided on a fifty-four acre parcel of land located on the west side of Academy Street and South Avenue and belonging to the estate of Supreme Court Justice Smith Thompson. This land forms the nucleus of the present cemetery.

ALICE HAMILTON: THE MAKING OF A FEMINIST-PRAGMATIST RHETOR by VICKI J. MCCOY Under the Direction of James F. Darsey ABSTRACT Dr. Alice Hamilton (1869-1970), the leading American figure in industrial medicine during the early to mid-1900s, left behind a body of rhetoric that is important in the history of American feminist discourse and American public address. Her discourse is the exemplary of feminist-pragmatist rhetoric, a genre of cross-gender communication developed by New Women associated with Hull House and the University of Chicago between 1892 and 1918. Hamilton’s rhetoric illuminates a key event in the history of the American rhetorical tradition—the emergence of the modern woman from her late- Victorian beginnings through her Progressive self-transformation. This study is approached as a rhetorical biography. It tracks Hamilton’s evolution from “reticent scientist” to outspoken feminist-pragmatist by examining family, educational, peer and social influences on her development; and through critical analysis of her speeches, technical writing, books, and popular and specialty magazine articles over a 36-year period, from 1907 to 1943.

The Hamilton Family Glass Companies
The Hamilton Family Glass Companies Bill Lockhart, Beau Schriever, Bill Lindsey, and Carol Serr Although there is some uncertainty about the earliest days of the factory, the Hamilton brothers (and one cousin) founded W.H. Hamilton & Co. at Pittsburgh in 1863. Although the reasons were never made public, James T. Hamilton and his brother, Albert, left the firm to form J.T.&A. Hamilton in 1879 (adding “Co.” to the name in 1916). Both glass houses made a general variety of flint bottles, including early milk bottles. The older firm (by that time W.H. Hamilton Co. – no ampersand) sold to the Imperial Glass Co. in 1909, but the J.T.&A. Hamilton Co. remained in business until 1943 – selling that year to the Knox Glass Bottle Co. Genealogy of the Hamiltons According to MJF (a great-granddaughter of James Hamilton, possibly Martha Ferguson), James Hamilton had seven children, including Samuel and James. Unfortunately, she did not include dates or middle initials.1 It is very likely that James was the James W. Hamilton who was a partner in the firm of Lorenz & Hamilton (probably with Frederick Lorenz, Sr.). Census documents define the second generation. Samuel Hamilton had five sons: William H. (b. May 1831), John (b. ca. 1833), James (b. ca. 1837), Joseph (b. ca. 1840), and Alexander (b. ca. 1842) as well as four daughters (Hester, Mary, Eliza, and Frances). By 1860, William (then listed as 30) was still a student. All of the brothers, except John, devoted their careers to W.H. Hamilton & Co. and the later W.H.
