Summary
"The definitive edition of an American classic of great literary and historical value. Chastellux, one of three major generals who accompanied Rochambeau and the French Expeditionary Forces to America, was a man of letters and a member of the French Academy. His absorbing journal is a deeply and clearly etched portrait of a country and its people. This is the second of two volumes." [Worldcat.org]
"Francois Jean De Beauvoir, Marquis De Chastellux was born in Paris, France in 1734. He joined the French Army as a Second Lieutenant at the age of 13 and rose through the ranks during the Seven Years' War. Chastellux came to be as famous for his literary work, with his publication of a book on philosophy in 1772, as he was for his military exploits. When the French expeditionary forces assigned to the Revolutionary Continental Army set sail for America in 1779, he was one of the three major generals sent with General Rochambeau. They arrived in America and took part in the victorious Yorktown campaign. Invaluable to the Continental Army commanders for his command of the English language, Chastellux remained in America until returning to France in early 1783. Travels in North America is an account of Chastellux's travels between campaigns." [from the Preface]
