Lafayette (86 page)

Francis Wharton,
The Revolutionary Diplomatic Correspondence of the United States, Edited under Direction of Congress, with preliminary index, and notes historical and legal. Published in conformity with Act of Congress of August 13, 1888
. (Washington: Government Printing Office, 1889, 6 vols.). [
A lawyer, clergyman, teacher, government official, author, and editor, Wharton (1820–1889) graduated from Yale University, won success as a lawyer in Philadelphia, and gained a formidable reputation for his works on criminal law. After the death of his wife in 1854, he turned to religious work for twenty years, before returning to the law and building a reputation in international law. After he became chief of the legal division of the U.S. Department of State in 1885, Congress entrusted him with compiling the definitive three-volume
Digest of the International Law of the United States,
to which the eight-volume
Revolutionary Correspondence
was a supplement. When meshed with the equivalent Doniol work from the archives of the French foreign ministry, Wharton’s work provides an almost minute-by-minute description and understanding of the entire American Revolutionary War.]

Brand Whitlock,
La Fayette
(New York: D. Appleton, 1929, 2 vols.). [
A prolific writer, political reformer, and diplomat, the Ohio-born Whitlock (1869–1934) had been a journalist and a lawyer before serving four terms as reform mayor of Toledo at the beginning of the twentieth century. After he had rid the city of graft, broken a local ice monopoly, and improved the lot of working men and women, the democratic administration rewarded him with an appointment as minister to Belgium at the outbreak of World War I. By that time, he had already published eight books, including one well-received novel. In Belgium, he worked tirelessly to organize food distribution among the civilian population of Belgium and the occupied zone of France. After the war, Belgium overwhelmed him with honors, and the U.S. government raised him to the rank of ambassador. He resigned in 1922 and spent the rest of his life in Europe—mostly in Brussels and the French Riviera—as a writer, “vacillating,” as he put
it, between fiction and nonfiction. In the last decade of his life he wrote two more novels, an autobiography, and his epic two-volume biography of Lafayette.]
