Hamilton’s rise from St Croix clerk to U S statesman
A stitched summary notes Alexander Hamilton’s early life beginning with a hurricane-scarred record from St Croix in 1772. His hurricane journal helped him move to America where he studied in Elizabethtown and at King's College later serving in the Continental Congress and shaping U S financial policy as secretary of the treasury. Racing tires are discussed as designed for speed, with emphasis on performance over ease and differing tread and weight requirements for racing versus pleasure cars.
