Major General Alexander Hamilton...
Item # 704011
November 06, 1799
THOMAS'S MASSACHUSETTS SPY OR WORCESTER GAZETTE, Nov. 6, 1799
* General Alexander Hamilton
* At Trenton, New Jersey
The back page has a nice "War Department" notice mentioning that: "All officers...who are...absent from their commands are required...to report themselves by letter to Major General ALEXANDER HAMILTON..." with a bit more. This is the Alexander Hamilton who served again in the military during the Quasi War.
This is followed by a: "One Cent Reward" ad for a runaway boy. Page 3 has: "The Birth of the President".
Four pages, very nice condition.
AI notes: On September 2, 1799, Alexander Hamilton passed through Trenton, New Jersey, as part of an inspection tour of U.S. troops during the Quasi-War with France. Serving as Inspector General of the Army and second in command to George Washington, Hamilton was involved in preparations for a possible conflict and was warmly received in Trenton. This visit reflected his continued influence and military ambitions following his tenure as Secretary of the Treasury.
