Ron Chernow’s award-wining and celebrated biography was
Lin-Manuel Miranda’s muse and guide when he was writing the
musical, and he himself is well known as an exciting and
powerful speaker. The Library is proud to present his
appearance at the Authors! Authors! series finale held at
the Stranahan Theater, May 31 @ 7:00 p.m.
The author will discuss Alexander Hamilton and his resonance
and importance to Americans today, and behind-the-scenes on
how his book became a Broadway phenomenon.

of Morgan, winner of the National Book Award; Titan:
The Life of John D. Rockefeller, nominated for the
National Book Critics Circle Award; Washington: A Life,
which received the Pulitzer Prize for Biography; and

Critics Circle Award and adapted into the award-winning
