Marquis de Lafayette’s Farewell Tour

Presented by Ryan Cole, author of “The Las Adieu: Lafayette’s Triumphant Return, the Echoes of Revolution, and the Gratitude of the Republic”. 
Join author Ryan Cole for a presentation on his new work chronicling Marquis de Lafayette’s farewell tour of America in 1824. The Last Adieu narrates this historical event from eyewitness accounts that serve as a panorama of a rising America and chronicle of a time when, as Lafayette wrote, memories of its Revolution came back to life, and its citizens were united in gratitude to the men who had won it.
