In 1824, General Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, marquis de LaFayette, made his return to the United States. He had given much to the United States during the Revolutionary War, serving as a general and a diplomat. Cornell University recently decided to celebrate the 250th anniversary of his birth by creating an exhibition drawn from its extensive Lafayette collection. Offered in both French and English, this complementary online exhibit offers up primary documents that address Lafayette's contributions to both the United States and France during periods of significant cultural and political transformation. The exhibit contains nine sections that offer digitized copies of his military plans, depictions in the popular press, and a copy of his remarks from when he visited the tomb of George Washington at Mt. Vernon. It's quite an inspired site, and one that persons with an interest in American history and international relations will want to recommend to friends and others.
