Who Was Jean-Baptiste
Rochambeau?
by Kenneth H. Rogers
Le Comte de
Rochambeau arrived in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1781, with 7,000 French
troops, to aid the American cause against the British. He quickly
established a cordial relationship with the citizens of Newport, as
well as with George Washington. When both French and Americans were
ready, the armies of the two allies converged on southern Virginia,
trapping Lord Cornwalis and forcing his surrender. This battle led to
the negotiations which resulted in American independence.
More information on Rochambeau can be had from Arnold Whitredge's book,
Rochambeau:
America's Neglected Founding Father (NY:Collier, 1974) and HERE.
