Did Lafayette Save America? with Nathan Hale!
About this episode
The episode explores the life of Lafayette and his influence on American history with guest Nathan Hale.
Sure, we know Lafayette as a street. And a college. And some of us know him as the charismatic Frenchman from Hamilton. But did you know he was France's richest orphan? And that his real name was Gilbert? And he might have been closer to George Washington than anyone really knew. Best-selling author Nathan Hale stops by to talk about his book Lafayette! and the man who inspired it.
