Reddit reviews Lafayette in the Somewhat United States

So oddly enough, since this is an old episode of TAL, it doesn't mention Sarah Vowell's newest book, Lafayette in the Somewhat United States. Which is all about him and other tidbits about the revolutionary war which came out last year. Like everything written by her, I highly recommend it.

I'm sure you can find Lafayette's memoirs online somewhere. I haven't read it, but I heard Lafayette in the Somewhat United States by Sarah Vowell is pretty good.

Yes, this is a great story. Sarah Vowell wrote Lafayette in the Somewhat United States about the French, English, Lafayette, Washington, the war, and all the rest. She made it funny and easy to read history with a huge amount of inside-baseball kind of stuff about the times and the people.

Before the snowfall I was doing a lot of trail running. Now that winter is full on I'm doing a lot of road running with some snowshoe running & snowshoeing up mountains in the Adirondacks thrown in on the weekends. My 50k training plan I based off the Ultraladies 50K training plans.

As for the reading, I'm devouring Jason Koop's Training Essentials for Ultrarunning. I'm usually reading nonfiction, Sarah Vowell's crass style and her blending of history and memoir make for entertaining reads. I'm looking forward to getting into her Lafayette in the Somewhat United States.
