In 1804, the final meeting between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr took place along the banks of the Hudson River. Their first encounter occurred in 1776 during the American defense of New York City. Their wartime experiences played a significant role in shaping their lives and contributing to the eventual dissolution of their friendship, which culminated in the infamous duel. Colonel Hamilton and Colonel Burr delve into the dramatic Revolutionary War service of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr.
The war transformed Burr into an outsider, as his early mentor and patron General Richard Montgomery fell in battle, and Burr failed to secure a position on Washington's staff despite his valiant service at New York in 1776, New Jersey in 1777, Valley Forge, and Monmouth in 1778. Undeterred by these setbacks, Burr remained ambitious and sought greatness throughout his life.
On the other hand, Hamilton's relationship with Washington, forged during the war, propelled him into the pantheon of the country's Founding Fathers. Not only did he serve as one of Washington's aides for four years, but he also excelled at New York and Trenton, crossed the Delaware on Christmas night 1776, and commanded three battalions at Yorktown. The Revolutionary War continues to be a significant source of the Hamilton-Burr conflict, and Lefkowitz vividly explores their roles and traces the war's impact on their later careers and conflicts.
