Major General Marquis de Lafayette by Charles Willson Peale. Nineteen-year-old Lafayette arrived in America in 1777 and was commissioned a major general for political reasons, without pay or command. He joined Washington's staff on August 1, 1777, and was wounded through the leg at Brandywine, his first battle. His popularity with Washington and the army helped to cement relations with France.
