Meet the Marquis de Lafayette

Living Historian Charles Wissinger presents the Marquis de Lafayette, the marvelously fascinating gentleman from France, in this informative and entertaining program. Born into nobility and baptized Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, the young Marquis made his way to America on his own dime, served under General Washington from Valley Forge to Yorktown, and returned in 1824 for a 13-month journey through 24 states, a true American hero.
