What reading level is I, Our Debt to France; Ii, What Lafayette Did for America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is nothing in the history of our relations with France more impressive than the fact that Rochambeau's orders were that the French army should be under the command of Washington, **to whom the honors of a marshal of France will be rendered." No one in Rochambeau's army had such a rank. It was also ordered that **in case of an equality of rank and of duration of service, the American officer will take command." 15 In spite of the British navy, Admiral Temay brought Rochambeau's force safel...y over, and they reached Newport July 10th, after a voyage of seventy days. July 12th Rochambeau v^rote Washington: "I am arrived full of submission and zeal and of venera- tion for yourself and for the talents you have shown in sustaining a war that will be forever memorable/' Rochambeau wrote the President of Congress: "We are your brothers and we shall act as such with you.
We will fight your enemies by your side as if we were one and the same nation." Questions of etiquette and precedence were easily settled by two such unselfish men as Washington and Rochambeau, and the only contest between the French and Americans was as to who should first storm the redoubts at Yorktown.
