History nerd and radio essayist Sarah Vowell casts her eye
at the 19 year old Marquis de Lafayette in Lafayette in the Somewhat United States, who joined the Revolutionary Army and
served under George Washington and became his friend. Because the Continental
Congress had underfunded the army, they were poorly fed and clothed, not to
mention untrained soldiers. Vowell visited Monticello, Valley Forge, and
Colonial Williamsburg in her quest to discover why a French nobleman would join
the fight of the American colonists. Humorous and enlightening.
