Beaumarchais played a major role in Americas fight for
independence, yet few Americans know his contribution.
Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais (24 January 1732 18 May1799)
was a watchmaker, inventor, musician, diplomat, fugitive, spy,
publisher, arms dealer, and revolutionary for France and America.
Assisted by P ris-Duverney, Beaumarchais acquired the title of
secretary-Councillor to the King in 1760-61. Beaumarchais pledged
his services to Louis XV and Louis XVI. He traveled to London,
Amsterdam and Vienna on various secret missions. Louis XVI had
Beaumarchais establish a commercial enterprise, Roderigue Hortalez
and Co, supported by the French and Spanish crowns. They supplied
the American rebels with weapons, munitions, clothes, and
provisions. In this way Louis could help America without breaking
ties with England. Beaumarchais worked with Silas Deane, an acting
member of the Second Continental Congress's Committee of Secret
Correspondence.
