The Scandalous Hamiltons: A Gilded Age Grifter, a Founding Fathers Disgraced Descendant, and a Trial at the Dawn of Tabloid Journalism 

byBill Shaffer

The Scandalous Hamiltons brings Bill Shaffer's attention to the gilded age grifter, a founding fathers disgraced descendant, and a trial at the dawn, treating the subject as a developing story rather than a settled conclusion. The argument in The Scandalous Hamiltons develops through biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, attending to both broad patterns and the revealing details that resist them. That perspective connects the gilded age grifter, a founding fathers disgraced descendant, and a trial at the dawn to larger questions in biography & autobiography and history, without losing sight of the people living through the consequences.
