Click here to register for this Zoom Webinar.
Contemporaries thought that Lafayette’s Farewell Tour of America in 1824 and 1825 was a unique event in our history, indeed, of world history. During the Tour, this 67-year-old former major general of the Continental Army visited all 24 states and Washington City and became a household name among roughly 12,000,000 Americans. Yet today, the Tour seems to have vanished from American history, and Americans are by and large unaware of it. Join Alan Hoffman as we delve into this fascinating account written by Lafayette’s private secretary.
A retired lawyer, Alan Hoffman serves as president of the American Friends of Lafayette and the Massachusetts Lafayette Society.
