You may have noticed that Hamilton has become the hottest Founder in recent years \u2013 and it\u2019s all due to the smash Broadway hit, \u201cHamilton: The Musical.\u201d So here\u2019s the lineup: 1. First, I provide a brief backgrounder on the remarkable life of Alexander Hamilton. 2. Second, I sit down with historian Stephen F. Knott to discuss his book, Washington and Hamilton: The Alliance that Forged America (Sourcebooks, 2015). He and his co-author Tony Williams argue that the relationship between Washington and Hamilton had a major impact on the outcome of the American Revolution and the subsequent creation of the American republic. 3. Finally, I drop by the one permanent site in Manhattan that\u2019s dedicated to the nation\u2019s first Secretary of the Treasury. It\u2019s the Hamilton Grange in Harlem. I speak with National Park Service ranger Liam Strain about the site\u2019s history and how \u201cHamilton: The Musical\u201d has dramatically increased visitor traffic at the site.
