Brother Lafayette examines the life of a truly unique American hero - Gilbert Du Motier, the Marquis de Lafayette

In August 1824, Lafayete arrived in New York City for what became his final goodwill tour of America. Throughout his thirteen-month trip, 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 in welcoming Lafayette and embraced him not just as a soldier and statesman but as a fellow Mason. In Brother Lafayette, Ruli delves into the Marquis' often misunderstood connection to the world's oldest fraternity. With special access to rare Masonic documents, proceedings, newspapers, diaries and other resources, Ruli develops the most detailed account of Lafayette's Masonic Activities ever published.
