[applause] - olectu -ack turn lectern. >> i especially want to thank you all for coming and is great to see so many people interested in the real alexander hamilton. i'm very excited to share with you my new book, discovering of newly 40 chapters discovered information about alexander hamilton, his grandparents, his father, his uncle, a previously unknown aunt and her children who were hamilton's first cousins, the cousin who paid for his education, his friends, his colleagues and many other hamilton related topics. today, i will be touching upon just a few chapters from discovering hamilton. that leaves 30 something more chapters for you to explore later. for the longest time, everyone waseved alexander hamilton born on january 11, 1757. alexander hamilton gave his age in a handful of letters and statements to friends with pointed to a birth in 1756. both wrote that he was born on january 11, 1757. new evidence was found suggesting a birth on january 11, 1755. in 1939, the discovery was shared of the probate record which on february 20 2, 1768, said that her son alexander hamilton, was 13 years old. ranching and, others concluded that t

the kind of blatant, shameless, overt discrimination that she witnessed as a kid. but, yeah, i learned about john adams and that story which you've mentioned, chairman acts alexander, is one of the great stories in american history. the boston massacre was a terrible event. it was a seminal event in the american revolution and john adams did a deeply unpopular thing of representing these british soldiers and getting their acquittal. it's a wonderful story about the bar, about lawyers and their obligations, sometimes their obligation to do things that they disagree with. i'm proud to have had the representations that i've had in the business world. and have represent my clients zealously, but you're absolutely right that i am not necessarily my clients. i will seek to defend them, to vindicate their rights, but that doesn't mean that i necessarily think that what they did was proper or that i -- sen. alexander: well, i would assume that some of your clients came to you because they were in trouble, is that right? i mean, you don't just have a lawyer to lunch at x hundred dollars an hour when everything's going fine. mr. scalia: sadly they weren't coming just because they liked me. and
