THE MARQUIS DE LAFAYETTE: A "FOUNDING SON" OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
by Gene Pisasale, author of Lafayette’s Gold: The Lost Brandywine Treasure
The lecture highlights the little known role that the Marquis de Lafayette played in America’s war for independence including his participation at the Battle of the Brandywine on September 11, 1777. His ongoing support, both monetary and political, helped win the war against Great Britain and earns him recognition as a “Founding Son” of the Revolutionary War.

game, or the Presidential matching game with portraits, names, and quotes from many well
known U.S. Presidents. There will be refreshments, costumed interpreters, and beehive oven
bread for sale. For information, call (610) 388-7376 or visit www.chaddsfordhistory.org. The Chads
