Walk beside the Marquis de Lafayette through Virginia's streets and parlours as the young republic greets its hero of independence. History feels close at hand. Compiled in the nineteenth century by Robert D. Ward, this remarkable primary source collection gathers full, circumstantial reports of the receptions that marked the 1824 1825 Lafayette visit to the United States, especially his farewell tour across early 19th century Virginia. From Washington and Alexandria to Yorktown, Williamsburg, Norfolk, Richmond, Petersburg, Monticello, Charlottesville and more, newspapers of the day record addresses, processions and public emotion in the very words of the time, offering vivid context for founding era American history. Illustrated with portrait of Lafayette photographed from Houdon's bust in the Capitol at Richmond, this nineteenth century history book also deepens any Marquis de Lafayette biography or study of Washington and Virginia history, revealing how a generation later Americans remembered their French ally. For American history students and for Virginia history buffs, and for general readers curious about civic ritual and memory, it offers an intimate panorama of receptions across Virginia towns at a moment when the Revolutionary era was passing into legend. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this careful modern edition is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure - it appeals equally to casual readers of narrative history and to serious collectors seeking an authentic window onto the Lafayette farewell tour.
