Well written Indy and a good read, although as the main character isn't really someone I know about so I did wonder a bit about why I should be interested in him (I know there is a musical about him and I remember hearing something about a duel but that's about the extent)? Anyone more familiar with US history though (or if I was to read the entire novel) wouldn't have that issue and I think will find it enjoyable.
Keep in mind the part we read begins in 1811...
ALEXANDER HAMILTON was never President and died in 1804... it's historic fiction.
