Review
1 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A valuable reference workBy Francisco Bernardo Regino E.This encyclopedia is a valuable reference work; and I recommend it.An observation on Vol. 1; p. 165; reads: "Leclerc died of yellow fever in April 7; 1803; and was replaced by French General Jean-Baptiste Rochambeau; Whom Dessalines and his troops fought battles in cleverly executed."In this paragraph there is a misprint; as the date of the death of General Victor Leclerc was on November 2; 1802. Who died on April 7; 1803 was Toussaint Louverture; a prisoner of Napoleon Bonaparte; in Fort de Joux; France. Francisco Bernardo Regino E. (Dominican Republic).
