Event Details
Four daughters of wealthy General Philip Schuyler ran away to elope with rich men. But Elizabeth Schuyler married Alexander Hamilton, a penniless orphan immigrant, for love. We will read the love letters Hamilton sent to Eliza during their courtship, then meet two other women—Angelica Schuyler Church and Maria Reynolds—who were also interested in Alexander. This program features music from the Hamilton Broadway Musical including "The Schuyler Sisters," "Helpless," "Satisfied," and "It’s Quiet Uptown." Presenter Rick Feingold teaches American Business History at Bergen Community College. Registration required.
