His story alone lends itself to historical credibility. I have not yet finished that book myself, but I agree with Chernow's assessment that Hamilton was one of the sharpest of the founding fathers. Overcoming all he had to overcome is certainly nothing to take lightly. Add on to that all he accomplished by the time he was 25 being so close to George Washington...incredible.
