Re: League of Women Voters Sept. Book Club meetings
LWV book club scores with Hamilton
The Jeffco League of Women Voters nonfiction book club will review Ron Chernow’s Alexander Hamilton at its September book club meetings.
Hamilton had an exotic, but brutal upbringing, as well as an ugly and brutal end. While he was a “very human” being, his contributions to our country’s financial well being, our politics and law make him a giant among the giants of our nation’s creation. Chernow’s epic biography wins all the usual superlatives . . . magnificent, splendid, brilliant.
Join the League for its discussion of this “high-minded philosophical” time in our history which was also a time of “venomous vituperation.” Is it an echo of our own days? Meetings will be on Sat., Sept. 16 at 9:30 a.m. at Westland Meridian, 10695 17th Ave., Lakewood 80215; and Wed., Sept. 20 at 1 p.m. For location of the Wednesday meeting and additional information, contact Lynne at 303-985-5128.
