A Hamilton Adventure
A downloadable game
Play as Alexander Hamilton in a short quest, based on the Hamilton musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Situated between Alexander's entry into the military and his ascension to Washington's assistant, explore British-occupied New York and the people who live there as you assist the Patriot cause.
This project is based on Cassandra Pybus' article, "Mary Perth, Harry Washington, and Moses Wilkinson: Black Methodists Who Escaped from Slavery and Founded a Nation," in the monograph Revolutionary Founders, edited by Alfred F. Young, Gary B. Nash, and Ray Raphael, and published by Vintage Books (New York, 2011).
