This analysis of Jefferson's antislavery views and the actions to which they gave rise, the subject matter of The Wolf by the Ears, is necessarily episodic; while chronology has been generally observed, it was not possible to weld this disparate material into the form of a biographical narrative.

Tells the story of the clash over fundamental issues that marked the Federalist administrations, the classic contest between Hamilton and Jefferson for dominance in Washington’s administration, and between John Adams and the Hamiltonians when the New Englander succeeded to the Presidency.

Origins of the American Revolution attempts to explain why the American colonists rose in rebellion against a government whose authority, less than fifteen years before the Declaration of Independence, they had helped to extend over a large part of the North American continent.

In-depth portrait of the American revolutionary patriot and statesman, which focuses on his contribution to the propaganda machine, which led to the Declaration of Independence

In this extraordinarily readable account of Hamilton and his life - long love affair with the United States, Mr. Miller reveals him clearly as a man of vision and audacity who gave unstintingly of his energy and ability to the cause of American union, though he had little love for the people whose power and well-being he sought to advance. Skillfully, scrupulously and in absorbing detail Miller explores the springs of Hamilton's thinking and the experiences and influences that shaped his attitudes and molded his policies, examines the results, and shows how and why this country would have developed differently had Hamilton not lived when he did and been the kind of man he was.

A vivid recreation of the varied ways in which colonists lived. Bustling seaport towns, lonely farming valleys and forest frontiers come alive through the words of contemporary observers. Their humorous, sometimes piously pompous comments on courtship, marriage, children, education, religion, crime and punishment, and slavery provide rich insights into colonial America. Originally published in 1966 by Dell Publishing Company.

Third in a series of panels on early American history. Origins of the American Revolution appeared in 1943. Triumph of Freedom in 1948, both lively recording of history, staunchly rooted in sound scholarship & amply documented. Now comes this--a study of the Alien & Sedition Acts, in which the newly won American freedom survived severe test, back in 1798. Many of the issues have an oddly contemporary feeling, the witch-hunts, the fear of foreign influence, the use of opposing parties, as the Republicans (the new young party) struck out against the Federalists. The French Revolution was a fearful threat. The fear of Jacobinism was a very real one. An important phase-- one that passed for lack of fuel--this is a new angle in our history.--Kirkus (edited)

Probably no American statesman displayed more constructive imagination than did Alexander Hamilton. Prodigal of ideas, bursting with plans for diversifying the economy, and obsessed by a determination to make the United States a powerful nation under a centralized government, he left an imprint upon this country that time has not effaced. Alexander Hamilton and the Growth of the New Nation is the premier biography of Alexander Hamilton written by one of the foremost scholars of early American history.Hamilton's career was at times contradictory: born, in John Adams's words, the "bastard brat of a Scotch peddler," he rose to high social, political, and military position in the newly born country. He dreaded divisiveness, yet his strategies and actions aggravated political sectionalism. Miller weaves together the complex facets of Hamilton's life to make a vivid, absorbing biography.
