ROBERT GARY DODDS uncovered and wrote about the pivotal role Hamilton ancestors played in world-historical events, many forgotten yet impacting history.
Read of the Hamilton Clan's earliest evidenced ancestor born in the 9th century, his descendent at the English Battle of Hastings in the 11th century, the Norman font of all British-born Hamiltons. Hear about Hamiltons from the 12th - 21st centuries, including the Hamilton heir presumptive to the Scottish throne and the Hamilton champion of Mary, Queen of Scots.
By developing categorical affirmation, Dodds expertly links Alexander Hamilton, the founding father of the USA, to the modern-day Alexander Hamilton-both of whom shared a common ancestor-both having Scottish blood and lives in the West Indies.
Follow the tragedy of a New World triangular slave ship voyage; and a 19th-century Hamilton soldier, a friend of Sir Winston Churchill and Rudyard Kipling. The book culminates with the life of modern-day Alexander Hamilton. His Downton Abbey-style upbringing from the early 20th century led to military service and inheriting a 26,000-acre Jamaican plantation.
This book is the comprehensive history of a family and the political, social, military, and business forces that acted upon them over 1,142-years.
The book's foreword is written by His Grace, the Duke of Hamilton.
