Brother Lafayette (Autographed)

Autographed copy of Brother Lafayette
 
In 1824, the Marquis de Lafayette visited the United States for what became the final goodwill tour of his adoptive country. Everywhere Lafayette visited, a tapestry of parades, banquets, concerts, and public honors unfolded, befitting the last surviving major general of the American Revolution. The country's Freemasons played a pivotal role and embraced Lafayette as a soldier, statesman, and fellow Mason. Brother Lafayette examines the Marquis’ often misunderstood connection to the ancient fraternity and provides the most detailed account, through Masonic records, newspapers, letters, and diaries, of how American Freemasons extended a heartfelt welcome to a fellow brother of the Mystic Tie.
