Funny coincidence you should mention this, I was just thumbing through my copy of "An Unlikely Prophet" by comic book writer Alvin Schwartz yesterday; the book offers the theory that Hamilton was not a real person but a "thoughtform." According to the mysterious zen monk that materializes in front of Schwartz, Hamilton's family history -- orphaned as a child -- was invented as a cover story, as was the duel w/Burr. Hamilton did not die, but "faded away."

...

I read many interesting books. Um, back to work now.
