Join us for the Virtual Lecture: Print, Gossip, and Duel: Alexander Hamilton and the Art of Political Combat. Register here: www.eventbrite.com

Don’t let Alexander Hamilton’s polished manners fool you: he was a political brawler at a time when the new nation’s survival was at stake. The Founding Fathers didn’t have cable tv or social media, but they did have their own battlegrounds and tactics to make sure their vision of the republic won. Dr. David Head explains how early American politicians like Hamilton battled each other in public, in private, and, sometimes, on the dueling ground

David Head is associate lecturer of history at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. David grew up in Western New York, and he earned his B.A. in history from Niagara University and his Ph.D. in history from the University at Buffalo. He has published four books, including, most recently, A Crisis of Peace: George Washington, the Newburgh Conspiracy, and the Fate of the American Revolution, which received honorable mention for the Journal of the American Revolution’s Best Book Award. It was also a finalist for the 2020 George Washington Book Prize. In addition to his academic work, David has written for USA Today, the Orlando Sentinel, and the History News Network on topics ranging from George Washington’s shopping habits to the musical Hamilton.
