The book is a masterpiece and Lin Manuel is a genius.

I have a signed copy of his book AH I'm a proud of that because it is a great book, and he is great historian.

So glad I found this! I am reading the book now after seeing the musical. After listening to the cast album multiple times (always with great pleasure), it is so much fun to read the pages that inspired Miranda to write such a wonderful masterpiece. The book is an absolute delight as well - and when Miranda wanders "off-script" it is so easy to see why he might have done that. Thanks so much for posting this interview - and even more - thanks for just letting Mr. Chernow speak without interruption and getting his thoughts out there. Thanks most of all to Ron Chernow and Lin Manuel Miranda for creating gifts that will keep giving for the ages.

This is awesome! Thanks for posting.

great interview!

Hamilton was one of the most venal characters in the Revolutionary War Era.

cool

I’m glad the author met Lin Manuel Miranda for adapting his book to a Broadway musical

Some years back, I, too, read Chernow's book on Alexander Hamilton. And I seem to recall perhaps erroneously -- there was some question among members of congress as to his ethnic heritage. In fact, there were cruel barbs thrown his way suggesting a "mixed" heritage of some sort since he was born in the West Indies, Nevis, if I remember rightly. Does anyone remember the same?

On my first read, not yet finished. I do recall earlier in the book the mention of rumors that Hamilton was mixed due to the fact that many Illegitimate children in the West Indies were of mixed race, so it is likely you are correct.

Yes, I recall that inference from Chernows' book. Hamilton may have had mulattos in his family tree which was very common during 17th & 18th century West Indian societies

@@mikefreeman3975 Can it be that because I myself am of African descent I see a kinder, gentler Framer in Hamilton than his contemporaries? Put another way, is it my imagination creating a fantasia?

His book isn’t perfect either but it not bad for historian like him it might be hard to read all the letters if Hamilton was alive today he will be shock and probably make account to fight internet people

Hmm.....not buying the connection Chernow is selling between the historical Hamilton and the progressive hip-hop production. Hamilton was an elitist and not someone the left wingers who fawn over this show would actually empathize with.

Hamilton was an elitist who had or started from nothing. He was an American outspoken about American standards like slavery. He was a walking contradiction

Book was great, play just another musical that has zero relevance, despite the pandering to historians and msm BS, to anything Hamilton or historical. Just more woke crap for to he public scrap heap.
