In honor of this enduring bond, Lafayette Square in Buffalo, New York State stands as a testament to their friendship. It serves as a reminder of the pivotal contributions made by both men towards American independence. A lithograph from 1868 portrays Washington and his friends after an exhilarating hunt in Virginia. Among these esteemed individuals are Wayne, Greene, Pulaski, La Grange - but none more distinguished than La Fayette himself.
