I have read all her novels, and have a detailed critique of her works as well. A very interesting woman, deeply influence by her teen years lived in Russia during and after the 1917 revolution.
Adams was a crotchety old guy. Nasty in that way, but not mean to other folks. Hamilton was a playa, ambitious, scheming, but he'd seen how hard it was to get through the revolution and the chaos that followed and wanted to give the country something solid to build on. Jefferson was something of a narcissist, a great idealist but somebody who was blind to a lot that was going on around him, somebody who lived more in his own head and imagination and ideals. He could make trouble for people around him because his view of the world didn't reflect realities well. But seeing them as they were can give one more appreciation for what they achieved, rather than less.
He didn't like the tens because he felt he was part of some interfamilial multigenerational feud, I guess. Or nuts. I'm thinkin', the latter. :^) He also had a "Carter for President" bumpersticker. :^o
Burrsylvania... I remember that one from a childhood episode of "To Tell the Truth", the contestant purported to be a Burr descendant. Interesting detail about the origin of the name of the Andrea Doria, I'd had no idea. If some cruise line tried to pull that now, they'd be 'forced' to change the name to "Victory Mosque" or something.
Hamilton put the United States on a firm foundation to insure that the government established by the new Constitution would actually work.
well said.
