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

5.0

I love scandal gossip and this book truly was a gilded age drama just like what I have loved to read in New York Magazine for years. As a huge fan of the Daddies, I was thrilled to have a chance to read a book that combines my two passions. This is the tale of Alexander Hamilton's great grandson and a kind of nutty lady he got involved with. I will not spoil any of the drama although some is told in the book description, but don't worry, there are plenty more drama surprises all the way through the end.

The author clearly did a ton of research pouring through old newspapers to get all the good details. I recommend to anyone who loves some drama.
