Vineyards to Victory: An American and French History Inspired by True Events In the winter of 1779, seventeen-year-old Siméon Gaugien kissed his weeping mother goodbye and left the vineyards of eastern France to fight for a nation he had never seen. The second son, with no land to inherit and few choices before him, he chose the artillery, the Atlantic, and a war for liberty that was not his own. Vineyards to Victory follows Siméon from his family's vineyard in Rosières-sur-Mance through his enlistment in the elite Régiment d'Auxonne, the failed invasion of England, and his crossing to America as part of Rochambeau's expeditionary force. It is a story of waiting and endurance, of friendship forged under fire, and of men who marched hundreds of miles to fight and then marched home again through autumn rain. This is not the Revolution as seen from Versailles or Philadelphia. It is the war as lived by those who hauled the guns, slept in the mud, and buried their dead without monuments. Through Siméon's eyes, the narrative traces the siege of Yorktown, the long months in the Caribbean, and the quiet return to a France already trembling toward its own revolution.

As the United States marks its 250th anniversary, this book offers what the Revolution's famous names cannot: a ground-level account of alliance, sacrifice, and survival, and of the enduring bonds between two nations forged not in treaty rooms, but in the mud and smoke of shared struggle. …

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A multigenerational French-American story rooted in the American Revolutionary War.From the vineyards of France to the battlefield of Yorktown, and from one village in Haute-Saone to a French settlement in northern New York, Vineyards to Victory tells the story of Simeon Gaugien, a farmer's son whose service with Rochambeau's army helped shape an American family for generations to come.Simeon joined Rochambeau's expeditionary force and sailed to America in 1780 to fight for a nation not his own. Trained as a French artilleryman, he endured a seventy-day Atlantic crossing, a winter encampment in Newport, and the decisive Siege of Yorktown, where French cannon helped force Lord Cornwallis's surrender and secure American independence.But victory was only the beginning.Simeon returned to a France poisoned by volcanic winter, upended by revolution, and scarred by war. Through upheaval and grief, he and his family endured, measuring time not by decree but by soil and season. Generations later, his descendants crossed the Atlantic again, founding a French settlement in northern New York that carried the name of the village they left behind.The stories of Washington, Rochambeau, and Lafayette have been told. This is the story of the men who fought alongside them, and of the families who carried their legacy across the ocean.Grounded in four years of French and American archival research, this meticulously documented narrative gives voice to the 30,000 French soldiers and sailors whose sacrifice helped make American independence possible. Every soldier named in these pages is a documented historical individual. Every major event is drawn from primary sources."The book reads like a compelling novel but it is grounded in solid historical information."- Norm Desmarais, Professor Emeritus, Providence College"It took more than famous names to win American Independence. Both an engaging read and a powerful educational tool, it belongs in as many households as possible."- Chuck Schwam, Executive Director, American Friends of LafayetteThis is the story of deep roots, cultivated in the vineyards of France, weathered by revolution, and carried to new life in America.Published in commemoration of America's 250th Anniversary of Independence. From the vineyards of France to the battlefield of Yorktown, one French artilleryman unknowingly shaped an American family for generations to come. Washington's story has been told. This is the story of the men beside him. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
