The True Story of Lafayette: Called the Friend of America

by Elbridge S. Brooks, Victor a Searles

Excerpt from The True Story of Lafayette: Called the Friend of America
He began life as an historic boy; he Closed it an historic man, revered by all lovers Of liberty the world over, disliked only by those who hated liberty and feared the people. NO man suffered more at the hands Of those he wished to benefit; no man was more beloved by those who spurned his benefits. Idolized one day, imprisoned the next, but always a patriot, and always cheerful and brave, he builded even better than he knew, and wrought his name and his deeds into the destinies and progress of two nations, and died the friend and deliverer Of both.
