The Fate Of Major Andre: A Letter From Alexander Hamilton To John Laurens (1916) is a historical document that recounts the story of Major John Andr�����, a British officer who was hanged as a spy during the American Revolution. The book comprises a letter written by Alexander Hamilton to his friend John Laurens in 1780, in which he describes the events leading up to Andr�����'s capture and execution. Hamilton, who was a key figure in the Revolutionary War and later became one of the founding fathers of the United States, provides a detailed account of Andr�����'s involvement in Benedict Arnold's plot to surrender West Point to the British. He also discusses the controversial decision to execute Andr�����, who was widely regarded as a brave and honorable soldier. The Fate Of Major Andre is a fascinating insight into one of the most dramatic episodes of the American Revolution, and provides a valuable historical perspective on the conflict between Britain and the newly-formed United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
