Memoirs of the Duc De Lauzun. RARE & Fascinating memoir of Revolutionary America

This is a gently used hardback facsimile edition of an important eyewitness account of the American Revolution, and one of the most charming and funny documents of its kind! It was published in 1969 by the New York Times and Arno Press as part of a series of eyewitness accounts of Revolutionary America and is long out of print and very hard to find!
The Duc De Lauzun was a young French Aristocrat who served as an officer in the French forces sent to support Washington during the American Revolution. But he spent the preceding years before France joined the fracas as a diplomat in England, where his handsome looks and charm led him into a series of affairs with influential women of the court. His memoirs are remarkably honest and detailed, bringing to life the social mores and daily escapades of an aristocrat in the Age of Revolution.
