COMTE DE GRASSE
François Joseph Paul, Comte de Grasse (1722-1788). | |||||
Arguably the most famous of the French naval leaders in the American
Revolution. His fame was won as victor of the Second Battle of the
Virginia Capes, where his fleet of 24 French ships of the line drove off
the 19 British ships under Admiral Graves in early September 1781, thus
isolating the British forces of Cornwallis at Yorktown. "Among the many obligations that the United States have gained visa-vis the men of the French Army and Navy who have taken such a noble part in our establishment, that which you have acquired will be profoundly engraved in the spirit of its sons in indelible character, with gratitude and deep respect".
