He wanted adventure! A major general by nineteen, he was eager to prove himself in battle. When he heard about the revolution going on in America, he went overseas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e He fought with George Washington and Alexander Hamilton in America's war for independence. Passionate about the American cause--and endearing--Lafayette was accepted into the Continental Army when other French officers were not because of his willingness to learn (and because his wealth meant that he didn't require a salary). General Washington took him under his wing, and Lafayette's loyalty to the commander-in-chief even saved Washington from a plot to remove him from command. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Lafayette would become a legend on both sides of the Atlantic and a symbol of the enduring friendship between America and France. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNathan Hale's Hazardous Tales!
