Summaries and Guides: Alexander Hamilton

After the first 30+ chapters, I could not recall what was the main theme of each chapter - the 'perhaps too clever' chapter titles do not provide instant recall for me.  I prefer the old 18th-century chapters with a multi-word subtitle such as "in which our hero spurns the flirtations of his sister-in-law Angelica Schuyler Church, only to flounder under the advances of a scandalous Maria Reynolds."
Instead we have Thirty-two:  Reign of Witches  [perhaps the most relevant chapter to today's world]

As expected with a book this size, there exist numerous summaries and Readers Guides.  I have purchased two of them, but not yet ready to claim help or discredit.  I offer these titles, and request the readers to proffer their own.



  • Summary by Readtrepeneur [64 pages]; provides by Chapter headings.  Paperback - has been ordered.




  • Summary by Instaread [30 pages]; no "read inside' view; perhaps NOT by chapters.


  • Summary by Fast2Read [30 pages].  Not chapter by chapter.


  • Summary by Worth Books [76 pages].  Not chapter by chapter.


  • Summary by SummaryReads [76 pages].


  • Summary by Stuart Publishing Notes [30 pages];  Kindle:  $2.99;  Paperback:  $6.99.  Not chapter by chapter.
