Lafayette saves the Island of Nantucket! The small island of Nantucket depended on the whaling industry to support its economy in the 18th century. Unfortunately, its main customer for their whale oil was Great Britain but the American Revolution made sales nearly impossible, and the island was destitute. Thankfully, Lafayette established favorable trading terms with France after the war to allow for the sale of Nantucket’s oil to
light the lamps of Paris! But how do you thank a Marquis and Major General of the American Revolution? Well, with a 500-pound cheese, of course, made from 100% Nantucket cow milk donated by the islanders and then shipped to France to Lafayette his wife Adrienne!
Historical fiction told by two adorable House Mice! A book for all ages.
