America’s first international hero, Lafayette, risked his life and spent his fortune in the fight for American independence from England. Without Lafayette and the assistance of France, America would never have been victorious during the American Revolution. While being celebrated in America in the 18th and 19th century – including a grand American tour that lasted more than a year – Lafayette’s heroic deeds are fading from America’s consciousness. The importance of the Battle of Brandywine, where Lafayette was wounded on September 11, 1777, has not been always been appropriately recognized as a major turning point in America’s independence.

Join author Bruce Mowday for a discussion based on his book, Lafayette at Brandywine: The Making of an American Hero, in which he redefines Lafayette’s role in America’s fight for freedom and the historical importance of the Battle of Brandywine.

This program will be held at the New Castle Historical Society located in the historic Arsenal, 30 Market Street, New Castle, DE 19720.
