Peter Joseph Hamilton fu un avvocato e storico dell'Alabama i cui scritti approfondiscono la storia coloniale e americana delle origini, con un focus particolare sul Sud degli Stati Uniti. Le sue opere esplorano le istituzioni e i processi che hanno plasmato gli stati meridionali, spesso attraverso meticolose ricerche storiche. L'approccio di Hamilton era analitico, dedicato alla documentazione e all'interpretazione dei fatti storici. I suoi contributi offrono preziose intuizioni sullo sviluppo legale e sociale della sua regione natale.
