Mémoires pour servir a l’histoire de la revolution de Saint-Domingue: by Lt. Gen. Baron Pamphile de Lacroix, Vol. 1-2, Paris, Chez Pillet Aine, 1819.
(The entire text is in French. This work was digitized from the microfiche collection “The French Revolution Research Collection,” Sect. 11,
No.2/111. General Lacroix served with distinction in the expedition sent by Napoleon to reclaim San Domingue to French rule and to restore slavery. His
account describes how the expeditionary force of some 50,000 troops met disaster and provoked what became the Haitian War of Independence. His account ends
with the death of Leclerc, and it is thought by some historians that he refused to describe the later, and much more brutal campaign of General
Rochambeau because he disapproved of the latter’s tactics. For other valuable first-hand accounts of the first phase of the war, see: Leclerc, (Letters from
S. Domingue Expedition), 1801-02, also offered on this site.)
