However, Hamilton was a very accomplished military leader and thinker.
This program is a fascinating PowerPoint slideshow illustrating the many stories about Hamilton's military leadership. It begins with his serving as a student at King's College (now Columbia) and entering a militia unit, all the way through his long-time service as General Washington's most trusted aide, to his overlooked service as Washington's second in command as a major general in the U.S. Army during the Quasi-War with France, 1798-99.
