內容簡介

On July 11, 1804, a single bullet changed the course of American history . . .

BUT WHAT IF IT DIDN’T?


Alexander Hamilton lies wounded and feverish after a deadly duel that ended the life of Vice President Burr. Hovering near death, he catches a glimpse of what lies ahead - and sees a Civil War that will consume a generation and poison America’s future. This vision compels him to return to the political arena. He sets his eyes on the Senate, and then the White House, enlisting former allies and reconciling with old enemies in his quest to become President and crush slavery. Overcoming great odds while facing down enemies at home and abroad, Hamilton moves steadily toward his goal - but there are some who will stop at nothing to derail the President’s crusade for liberty. Will they succeed?


President Hamilton reintroduces us to the founding generation - the brilliant, crafty Thomas Jefferson, the diminutive genius James Madison, and professional curmudgeon John Adams - and brings on the next generation of American leaders - Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, John Quincy Adams, and Andrew Jackson - in a lively epic of alternative history that begins with the famous duel at Weehawken and rewrites the history of the Nineteenth Century. Can Hamilton persuade the Southern states to change their course? Can his powers of persuasion move the conscience of a nation? Can one man change history?

作者簡介

A true son of the Lone Star state with Texas roots that go back six generations, Lewis was born in the heart of Texas on December 13, 1963, and graduated from Ford High School in Quinlan in 1982.He is the father of daughters, Rachel and Rebecca, husband since 1984 to love of his life, Patty.A veteran of four years in the US Navy during the Cold War as a radioman with a top secret clearance, Lewis was involved in the USS Lockwood incident in December 1985, when the frigate on which Lewis was serving collided with a Filipino freighter near Yokosuka, Japan.After serving his country, Lewis attended East Texas State University, from which he received his BA in 1990, and his Master’s in 1993. He is now in his third decade teaching history at Greenville Christian School, northeast of Dallas. Every spring as graduation draws near, Lewis writes a personalized letter to each senior, reflecting on their time together, and gifts each with a flint arrowhead, as an enduring token of affection toward the students who have passed through his classroom.
