520 _a"Beaumarchais and the War of American Independence, Vol. 2" by Elizabeth Sarah Kite is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses on the life and exploits of Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, a key figure in the American Revolution, highlighting his role as a secret agent and diplomat who sought to aid the American colonies in their fight for independence from England. At the start of this second volume, the narrative delves into the extraordinary mission of Beaumarchais in the summer of 1775, which involves negotiating with the Chevalier d'Eon, a controversial figure whose gender identity sparked widespread intrigue. Their dealings are set against the backdrop of rising revolutionary fervor in America, as Beaumarchais begins to engage deeply with the causes of the revolution, simultaneously navigating complex political dynamics between France and England. The opening portion establishes Beaumarchais's unique position as both a supporter of the American cause and a cunning negotiator within the fraught intrigues of European diplomacy.
