Mayer. 520 $a In curiously parallel lives, Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr were both orphaned at an early age. Both were brilliant students who attended college, one at Princeton, the other at Columbia, and studied law. Both were young staff officers under General George Washington, and both became war heroes. Politics beckoned them, and each served in the newly formed government of the fledgling nation. Why, then, did these two face each other at dawn in a duel that ended with death for one and opprobrium for the other? Judith St. George's lively biography, told in alternating chapters, brings to life two complex men who played major roles in the formation of the United States. 600 10 $a Burr, Aaron, $d 1756-1836 $v Juvenile literature. 600 10 $a Hamilton, Alexander, $d 1757-1804 $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Burr-Hamilton Duel, Weehawken, N.J., 1804 $v Juvenile literature. 700 1 $a Mayer, John H., $e narrator. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418122756.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B8319BA240011E78AE259E3DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
