Excellent recounting of a great man’s passion for liberty. Now if we could just get our schools to teach our real history and about our real heroes, we may turn this mess around.

Since he first set foot on American soil in our state, why no mention of Lafayette’s visit to South Carolina when he was invited back to the U.S. in 1824-25? There are some good stories and I know of several “Lafayette Slept Here” signs sprinkled around the state. (Ones in Cheraw and Columbia come to mind.) It would have added a nice and interesting conclusion to an already good piece.
