About this listen
In this first episode of our two-part series on the Marquis de Lafayette, The History in Motion Podcast follows the young French aristocrat who would become a hero of the American Revolution.
Barely out of his teens, Lafayette defied royal orders to cross the Atlantic and join the fight for American independence. Serving alongside George Washington, he proved himself in both battle and diplomacy, securing crucial French aid that helped turn the tide against Britain.
In Part 2, we’ll follow Lafayette home to France, where he would take the ideals forged in America into the storm of the French Revolution.
But first, join us as we explore Lafayette’s daring journey, battlefield heroics, and political skill during the fight that made him America’s adopted son — the opening chapter in the life of the “Hero of Two Worlds.”
