Celebrating
Lafayette’s
Triumph
Regional festivities are set to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the French general’s victory tour of America.
BY ROGER MORRIS
It was 200 years ago this fall that the 67-year-old Marquis de Lafayette made his victorious return to America for a 13-month tour of the country whose independence he fought so hard to attain in the Revolutionary War. Embracing his encore appearance, America loved him back as the conquering hero made multiple appearances across a country that had grown from 13 British colonies to 24 American states.
