notes:
Louverture (ca. 1743-1803), initially aide-de-camp to Biassou, was later leader of the Haitian Revolution. Originally named François Dominique Toussaint, he led the rebellion of slaves against the Spanish and French rulers of the island of Hispaniola (present-day Haiti and Santo Domingo), successfully fought for the abolition of slavery, and briefly established a black-governed French protectorate. There are no known existing portraits of Toussaint Louverture drawn from the life.Charles-Yves Cousin d'Avallon was also the author of songs and such works as Mes Promenades Philosophiques et critiques dans Paris (Paris, 1801), Le parfait agriculteur (1809), and Nouveau dictionnaire de cuisine et d'office.Cf. #s 72-83-1, 01127-1, 67-270-2, 69-666-1.
