François Louis Tesseidre de Fleury – American Hero, Unknown Frenchman: the career of a King's officer in the service of the American cause.

In France, the torch of the American War of Independence is held by the emblematic figure of Lafayette.

This representation distorts every parallel that could be drawn with the commitment of those who, before him, alongside him and after him, served the American cause in the War of Independence waged by the Thirteen Colonies.

Among them, François Louis Teissèdre de Fleury occupies a particular place, equal to those great servants. His personal commitment, his boldness and his qualities as an officer earned him exceptional recognition from the American Congress, and he is the only French military officer to have received it.
