Hamilton and Peggy: A Revolutionary Friendship Review
Hamilton and Peggy is a perfect addition for a Hamilton fan or a historical fiction fan. L.M. Elliot skillfully interweaves historical facts and documents with emotional resonance that makes these characters don’t feel like disnant historical figures or amazing musical heroes but just real people living in the Revolution.
