From: madison bell <mbell@goucher.edu>
I suggest a visit to Fort Liberte. It's easy enough to get from the
region of the Citadelle and ruins of the forts survive. Bone up by reading
the story of Rochambeau's landing there in 1802 (first blood shed during
the Napoleonic invasion and probaboly the event that triggered the burning
of Cap 2 days later)... for a contemporary flavor, read Stan Goff's HIDEOUS
DREAM, set in Fort Liberte during the intervasion.
