Excerpt from The Story of Alexander Hamilton for Young Readers

In the British West Indies there is a little island called Nevis. The cliffs along its coast are high, and the waves beat against them day and night.

A hundred and fifty years ago there were more French than English people in Nevis, but the English were hurrying as fast as they could to occupy the island, because it was so fertile and was such a fine shipping station.
