520 _a"Lafayette, We Come!" by Rupert Sargent Holland is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the remarkable story of the young Marquis de Lafayette and his passionate commitment to the American fight for independence during the late 18th century. It also reflects on the reciprocal support that America would later provide to France during its own struggles for liberty. At the start of the narrative, we learn about Lafayette's early life in the Château of Chavaniac, France, where he was born into nobility. Following the tragic death of his father, Lafayette grows up in a well-to-do but somewhat isolated environment, ultimately becoming fascinated by freedom and the rights of man. His youthful spirit drives him to embark on a daring journey to America, against his family's wishes, motivated by his desire to assist the American colonies in their quest for liberty. The opening chapters set the stage for Lafayette's transformation from a privileged French nobleman to a dedicated soldier ready to face the challenges of war, foreshadowing the significant role he would play in both American and French history.
