I don't know a whole lot about American history of this time period (though I saw Hamilton), but this seems to be a good portrait at least of many of the characters and events in America from the time of the revolution through the first several decades of the 19th century. Vidal is a really good writer, and seems to capture the characters well, and it's a bit hard to tell which of the attitudes are the authors and which are the characters. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, for example, don't come off very well in this book, to sometimes comic effect. This might be a good contrary to the Hamilton biography and musical, but it's worth remembering that this is a novel and has different needs than does a biography (though a musical has yet another set). The main thing is, it's always fun and enlightening to read Vidal.
