A 2011 Robert F. Sibert Honor Book
Newbery Medalist Russell Freedman's thrilling account of a daring young French nobleman who helped bring victory at Yorktown and who became a lifelong friend of President Washington will fascinate young historians.
When the Marquis de Lafayette ran off to join the American Revolution against the explicit orders of the king of France, he was a strong-willed nineteen-year-old who had never set foot on a battlefield. Although the U.S. Congress granted him an honorary commission only out of respect for his title and wealth, Lafayette quickly earned the respect of his fellow officers with his bravery, devotion to the cause of liberty, and incredible drive. Playing a pivotal role in the Revolution, Lafayette convinced the French government to send troops, made crucial pacts with Native Americans, and lead his men to victory at Yorktown. Includes source notes, bibliography, time line, and index.

Lafayette and the American Revolution
The final lines of the book:
"In 1917 [...] during WW I [...] the first American Troops to arrive in France made a pilgrimage to Lafayette's burial place. In a stirring tribute to the young Frenchman's heroic service to America, U.S. Colonel Charles E. Stanton stood before the grave, saluted and announced: 'Lafayette, we are here.' "
Actually brought tears to my eyes.
