A Preview

"Alexander Hamilton got out of the Caribbean because he wrote a very good letter about a hurricane. He was a teenage clerk on Saint Croix with no money and no family worth the name. A storm flattened the island. He wrote an account of it, a local minister printed it in the newspaper, and the merchants who read it were impressed enough to take up a collection and put him on a boat north."
