For Americans, the name Rochambeau is synonymous with the French helping the young United States win its battle for independence against the British. The French general and his 5,000 soldiers worked with George Washington to win the final battle at Yorktown in 1781. And yet, for the French, the American revolution is not as meaningful as their own revolution, which was brewing simultaneously. Plus, the American’s support of France during World War II holds even more significance to many of them. In this 100th episode of Amazing Tales from Off and On Connecticut’s Beaten Path, hear from a direct descendant of Rochambeau – Raphael de Gouberville.
