Description

1888 1ed Life of General Marquis de La Fayette French American Revolutionary War

â€œThe Life of La Fayette” by Lydia Hoyt Farmer is an illustrated, comprehensive biography of General Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette, a key figure in the history of both France and America. The book offers a detailed account of La Fayettes life, drawing from French works, original newspaper files, and manuscripts written by members of his family. La Fayette, a French aristocrat and military officer, played a crucial role in the American Revolutionary War and later became a central figure in the French Revolution of 1789 and the July Revolution of 1830. His accomplishments and legacy remain significant in France and America, as he is considered a national hero in both countries.
