Episode 96
In the musical Hamilton, Angelica Schuyler may have called New York the greatest city in the world, but what Lin Manuel Miranda left out of the show is the scandal that rocked Alexander Hamilton’s career, nearly destroyed his marriage and was the basis of the Reynolds Pamphlet, happened in Philadelphia.
Hamilton’s Philadelphia home near 3rd and Walnut Streets was just a few blocks from the the boarding house where 23-year-old Mariah Reynolds rented a room with her husband James. Reynolds was a young woman from New York whose husband used her to ensnare Alexander Hamilton in an extortion scheme through an affair that lasted for about year from the summer of 1791 through June 1792. Learn about the romantic scandal that rocked the career and marriage of one of our most notable founding fathers, a story from the city of brotherly love and sisterly affection.
