Relive Lafayette's 1825 Vermont tour through crowds, pageantry, and memories.
Lafayette's visit unfolds across towns from Montpelier to Royalton and beyond, with escorts, militia parades, and public welcomes that filled streets and buildings with light and sound. This edition gathers the moment-by-moment accounts of ceremonies, speeches, and fond recollections that marked a day of national pride and local tribute.
From the evening welcome in Montpelier to the gun salutes at Royalton and the roof-top moments at Randolph Center, the narrative highlights the people who met the general, the roles they played, and the towns they passed through. It also notes places of memory, including a bronze tablet and several historic inns, that keep the day alive for readers today.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the grand tour of General Lafayette across Vermont, nearly fifty years after the Declaration of Independence. The author details his celebratory welcome by dignitaries, military parades, and speeches. Despite rainy weather and poor illumination, Lafayette received a rousing reception from over eight thousand people who gathered to celebrate with him in Windsor. He continued his journey to Woodstock, where he acknowledged the vibrant arches and participated in a procession before giving a brief speech. Along the way, Lafayette greeted Revolutionary soldiers, shared refreshments, and inspected the troops. The author highlights significant moments such as Lafayette's stop at Barnard, where he met most of the town's population, and his visit to Royalton, where a salute was fired and a large procession formed. The book also explores Lafayette's remembrance of soldiers and his ability to call them by name. This meticulously researched account offers insights into Lafayette's legacy and the profound impact his tour had on the people of Vermont, solidifying his place as a symbol of the shared struggle for independence and the enduring spirit of unity.
