What were Alexander Hamilton's talents when he was a child?

Answer 1

Alexander Hamilton was born in Charlestown on the island of Nevis, West Indies, on July 11 in either 1755 or 1757 (the exact year is in dispute) to Rachel Faucett Lavien, a single mother divorced by her first husband for committing adultery, and by her second for committing bigamy.

Rachel and her two sons, Alexander and James, moved to Christiansted, in the US Virgin Islands, where Rachel ran a small store to support the family. Alexander's first job was helping his mother run the store until her death from scarlet fever when he was approximately 13.

Hamilton's second job was working as a clerk at a small import-export firm, Beekman and Cruger, that traded with New England.

Alexander Hamilton emigrated to America in 1772 and eventually entered King's College (now Columbia University) where he studied law. While there, he wrote articles and political pamphlets that were published in the New York Journal.

Hamilton joined the military and fought in the Revolutionary War. He met a number of influential people, like John Jay, and was eventually invited to become General George Washington's aide, obtaining the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He served under Washington for four years, making many important social and political contacts that helped him launch his political career after the War.

At age 14 he was left to manage the whole business with older people, traders, ship captains, supplies, trade goods, etc. for six months and did incredibly well. At 15 he wrote a newspaper article that described a devastating hurricane to hit their island of St. Croix. The people were so impressed, that they collected funds to send Alexander Hamilton to America to be educated at Princeton University...even though he ended up at Kings College (now Columbia University).
