2 Stop 2 of 12 on Hamilton Invented the Money

The Battery

Wall Street, New York City

A Preview

"The Battery. The bottom edge of Manhattan, the harbor opening out in front of you, salt air and ferry engines and a horizon full of water. Everyone will tell you Alexander Hamilton stepped off a boat right here. He didn't. The ship out of Saint Croix put him ashore in Boston, and he came down to New York afterward like an ordinary person with luggage."
