    George Washington and Alexander Hamilton: Young Man Rising
    Apr 14 2026
    Episode Notes

    Alexander Hamilton's intellect and ambition propelled him from the obscure beginnings of an illegitimate birth on an island in the West Indies to a place among George Washington's trusted associates. Recognized for his competence as an artillery officer, fluency in French, and way with words, Hamilton came into Washington's military family as an aide-de-camp in 1777. Hamilton excelled in that role until frustration with its limitations and a spat with Washington led to the young officer's departure in early 1781. Hamilton achieved his yearning for military glory after receiving a command in the light infantry and leading a successful assault on a key redoubt prior to the British surrender at Yorktown. With the war winding down, Hamilton turned his sights to politics and raising a family with his wife, Elizabeth, the daughter of Philip Schuyler, a prominent New Yorker as well as one of Washington's confidants. Hamilton's close relationship with Washington, along with their shared ideas regarding the need for a strong central government, promised significant future contributions to the growth of the United States.
