Summary:

"Alexander Hamilton knew and loved them as his "dear brunettes." Others remember them simply as the Schuyler sisters. Eliza and Angelica are often footnotes in Hamilton's story. But they both deserve their own attention. Bold and smart, they were champions of charities. And they were fierce supporters of the people they loved most. Read and discover their captivating stories."--Provided by publisher.
