The Scandalous Hamiltons: A Gilded Age Grifter, a Founding Father's Disgraced Descendant, and a Trial at the Dawn of Tabloid Journalism by Bill Shaffer

dark informative sad medium-paced

3.0

This is a true story about a scandal that happened in the late 1800s that involved Robert Ray Hamilton, a descendent of Alexander Hamilton, and his wife.  The scandal part, which happens at the beginning of the book, was the most interesting part.  Then it veers off into the court case and other things that were going on and that wasn't as interesting to me.  I listened to a podcast about this book and I think that the podcast was probably enough to listen to, to get the best parts of the book.  How the author found out about the story was pretty interesting.
