Sobre este artículo
Boston: Lee & Shepard, 1903. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good. 38, [5] pp. Illustrations include frontispeice, a black & white reproduction of Charles Wilson Peale's portrait of Lafayette, and a copy of a medallion worn on a pair of gloves during Lafayette's 1824 visit to Monticello. Grey cloth with all edges silver. While this poem is most probably a romantic invention, many names and some of the events described are true. According to the Nov.-Dec.1915 issue of Granite Monthly, [Concord, N.H], Lafayette did in fact visit Dover, New Hampshire. The article includes the following description of the June 23, 1825 visit: "After dinner the General and suite, by previous invitation, went to the mansion of the Hon. William Hale, where were gathered much of the fashion and beauty of this and neighboring towns, for the purpose of meeting the distinguished guest. Mrs. Hale and her daughters served a supper in a most elegant and tasteful style. The General spent the night in Mr. Hale's house..." Covers slightly soiled.
