Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from War Letters of Edmond Genet: The First American Aviator Killed Flying the Stars and Stripes The Genets are descended from Edme Charles Genet, who was secretary and interpreter to the Comte de Provence (subsequently Louis XVIII), and who died in 1780. Edme Charles, having lived long in England, became in France an authority on English affairs and was a publicist of some importance. His numerous works consist of historical essays, memoirs, and letters about the British constitution, British politics, and current events in England. Two of his children became distinguished, the first, Edmond C., was the famous, not to say notorious. Citizen Genet, whom the Revolutionary government in France sent as ambassador to the United States in 1792, and whose indiscretions led to his recall. He never returned to France, but settled at Albany, and subsequently married the daughter of Governor Clinton. The Citizen´s sister, Henriette (Mme. Campan), was one of the most remarkable women of her day. Inasmuch as her father was an intimate of the King´s brother, she was, as it were, born at court, and being an infant prodigy she received her education under the charge of distinguished poets, musicians, and savants.
