The story of the Marquis de Lafayette, a symbol of liberty for two worlds. History has recorded for all time the high resolve, triumphant over every object, which brought him from Europe to the shores of the new world. Here in America he saw and was a part of the birth of the new order of freedom, a precious privilege for which men would gladly sacrifice and fight and die.
Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier de La Fayette, Marquis de La Fayette, known in the United States as Lafayette, was a French aristocrat and military officer who volunteered to join the Continental Army, led by General George Washington, in the American Revolutionary War. Lafayette was ultimately permitted to command Continental Army troops in the decisive siege of Yorktown in 1781, the Revolutionary War's final major battle that secured American independence. After returning to France, Lafayette became a key figure in the French Revolution of 1789 and the July Revolution of 1830 and continues to be celebrated as a hero in both France and the United States.
