Hamilton was one of the most prominent of the founding fathers.Had it
not been for a most stormy event, this great patriot might never have
came to N. America.What was the event that propelled him to N. America

Hello egabb:

Thanks for the interesting question. 

The "stormy" event that propelled Hamilton to N. America was the
catastrophic East Indian hurricane of 1772 that passed over his home
of Christiansted on the island of St. Croix. Hamilton wrote a stirring
description of the disaster that was published in the Royal
Danisg-American Gazette. Local family friends were so impressed by
this that they collected funds to send young Hamilton to school in New
Jersey.

occasional poem in the local paper, and impressed the residents of the
island with a particularly vivid and florid account of a hurricane in
1772.
By 1773, his mentors had raised enough money to send him to America to
continue his education."

terrible West Indian hurricane in that year, made it possible for him
to go to New York to complete his education. Arriving in the autumn of
