when the marquis de lafayette, a revolutionary war hero, visited america from france in the late 1820s, it was a huge occasion. he was feted in washington, and then went on a trip (with then president quincy adams) to visit jefferson, madison, and monroe. john marshall came along as well. the picture of these guys hanging out together in retirement is just too adorable for words.
on one of the stops on their journey back east, quincy adams and monroe "were quartered in the same bedchamber."
i love it when these guys bunk up!
