Jay Cost Residency: The Founding in Perspective — Alexander Hamilton

Jefferson famously called Hamilton, "a host unto himself." Truer words have rarely been spoken, for Hamilton combined a towering intellect, a bold vision of the country's future, and a prodigious work ethic that few could rival. Yet at the same time, he could be reckless, dishonest, and downright foolish. It was this unusual combination of high and low traits that made him the most divisive figure of his age. And it would take nearly a century for the full scope of his genius to be truly appreciated.  

This event is part of "The Founding in Perspective: Visiting Speaker Week-in-Residency Series Examining 'The American Founding from the Perspective of Those Who Lived Through It'" The lectures examine the period from the perspective of each individual to appreciate the full complexity of the American Founding, the period in which the United States established a new constitutional order.  

Registrants are welcome but not required to attend all events to enjoy and learn from the individual lectures.  

This is a Brock Institute Event.
