FOLLOW THE FRENCHMEN | EPISODE 10 - FORT HAMILTON, NY

#followthefrenchmen EPISODE 10 | Julien travels to Fort Hamilton, the last active Army Garrison in New York City, to investigate the relationship between the two American forts, Hamilton and Lafayette, that protected together the harbor of New York for decades. One of them is still here, the other one is gone. What happened to Fort Lafayette?
When General Lafayette returned to the United States on August 15, 1824, Fort Lafayette was the first building to welcome him back to the country. The Frenchman inspected the fortifications at the Narrows and dined at Fort Lafayette on September 8, 1824.
In this episode, you will learn how, from the American Revolution to the War in Afghanistan, the name “Lafayette” has stood firm as a solid expression of the historical tradition of military alliance between the United States and France. What do Lafayette and his legacy mean for the United States Army? How does the story of Fort Lafayette fit within Army’s affection for Lafayette? Follow the Frenchmen and find out now!
