Summary:
The aid and support of the Comte de Rochambeau and his 6,000 men, from King Louis XVI's army, led to the surrender of an entire British army at Yorktown, securing America's victory in the Revolutionary war. After exploring the contributions of this French General, Carol Kimball finds it is fitting that we support the establishment of the Rochambeau Trail as a tribute to him.
