Few in history can match the revolutionary career of the Marquis de
Lafayette. Over fifty incredible years at the heart of the Age of
Revolution, he fought courageously on both sides of the Atlantic.
He was a soldier, statesman, idealist, philanthropist, and
abolitionist. As a teenager, Lafayette ran away from France to join
the American Revolution. Returning home a national hero, he helped
launch the French Revolution, eventually spending five years locked
in dungeon prisons. After his release, Lafayette sparred with
Napoleon, joined an underground conspiracy to overthrow King Louis
XVIII, and became an international symbol of liberty. Finally, as a
revered elder statesman, he was instrumental in the overthrow of
the Bourbon Dynasty in the Revolution of 1830. From enthusiastic
youth to world-weary old age, from the pinnacle of glory to the
depths of despair, Lafayette never stopped fighting for the rights
of all mankind. His remarkable life is the story of where we come
from, and an inspiration to defend the ideals he held dear.
