August 31 Eric Mease,” Remember the Ladies” The musical, Hamilton: An American Musical, introduced us to Elizabeth Schuyler-Hamilton who, until recently, was known mainly to historians. Now, our kids and grandchildren sing her praises! Elizabeth Schuyler-Hamilton is only one of many women in the pantheon of American’s founders.
