Hogeland discusses Alexander Hamiltons financial ideas. This is about 50 minutes. Now, while the museum, the gallery of the museum is closed because of a flood that we sustained, our robust programming continues, as evidenced by today. And our author who is speaking is william hogeland. Hes written multiple books on early u. S. History, including autumn of the black snake, declaration, the whiskey rebellion, and founding finance. Hes also the author of a recent publication or not author, a contributor, i should say to a recent publication historians on hamilton.

You can find that magazine at www. Moaf. Org for museum of American Finance. So, it should be no surprise that the topic of williams next book is Alexander Hamilton. Its my pleasure to introduce him, william hogeland.
