Emblem of Liberty: The Image of Lafayette in the American Mind

by Anne C. Loveland

Book Overview

The Marquis de Lafayette--the Frenchman who fought in the American Revolution--was the only foreigner to hold a major position among the Founding Fathers of the new nation. From his arrival in 1777 until, a century and a half later, the words "Lafayette, we are here " stirred support for American intervention in World War I, the evolving image of Lafayette reflected popular opinion on various domestic and foreign issues.
