Gene Pisasale as Alexander Hamilton
Alexander Hamilton is one of the most important, yet least understood of the Founding Fathers. Orphaned as a young boy on the island of St. Croix, he later emigrated to the colonies and fought as a soldier in the American Revolution. He became a trusted aide-de-camp to General Washington, serving through most of the war and fighting at the final victory at Yorktown. Hamilton was an important contributor to the U.S. Constitution and the Federalist Papers, later becoming the first Secretary of the Treasury, where he transformed a bankrupt nation into an efficient government able to pay its debts, issue currency and regulate trade. His accomplishments stand among the most critical in the founding of our nation. Join us on October 27, 2016 as Gene Pisasale performs a “Living Biography” as Colonel Alexander Hamilton.
Gene Pisasale is an author and lecturer who lives in Kennett Square in Chester County. An avid history buff, he started writing novels after 30 years in the energy and investment industry.
