GIZMO Poland's Carribean tragedy: A study of Polish legions in the Haitian war of independence 1802-1803 By: Jon Pachonski and Reuel K. Wilson REVIEWED BY BOB CORBETT: Heres an excerpt of this article, Thus when i ran across Pachonski's and Wilsons book POLAND'S CARIBBEAN TRAGEDY, i was thrilled to have a chance to get the story from the source as it were, well is that sort of slant is why one goes to this book it will be a huge disappointment. First of all one will have to be patient since they do adress this Old Haitian Myth but not until the second last chapter pages 307-317 is this tale discussed, and then for only ten pages at that. In short the story of the Poles as friends of Haiti and as settlers is Greatly Exaggerated to understate the case. However Pachonski and Wilson do adress the interesting question of how the myth grew, and they attribute it in great measure of being a creation of Jean Jacques Dessalines himself. On Pachonski and Wilson's view Dessaline was much taken by the fact that the Poles tended to treat the Haitians better than other Europeans and to have less regard for the French, the Poles did not want to be in Saint Domingue. With Dessaline's prodding, the Haitians tended to treat the poles much better when they captured them. On one Poles account this meant, that they killed them straight off rather then torturing them as they did the French. In sum there were about 5,200 Poles sent to Saint Domingue by Napoleon. More then 4,000 died primarily of yellow fever, some returned to France. Some were subsumed by the British colonial army, and only about 400 remained in Haiti and even 160 of those received permission from Dessalines in 1806 to return to France and even where sent there at Haiti's expense. Thus only 240 Poles actually remained and became Haitian citizens. Likewise the stories of Poles deserting the French for the Haitian cause are grossly exaggerated with only 120 to 150 Poles ever going to the Haitian cause and those are more likely to have done so, to save their own lives than as a matter of principle. http://www.websteruniv.edu/~corbetre/haiti/bookreviews/pachonski.htm

After just a little prodding the seemingly innocent and meek Haitian has lost his "coolness" and revealed his true feelings and admiration for the killer Dessalines, he is probably in a bacå trance state now dancing to the voo doo gods,
and spitting the blood of a dead cock mixed with cleren rum in a blood thirsty ritual.
Lower the volume of your war chants, you might be evicted by your neighbors.LOL.

Please do not make a show off literary knowledge if you can't substantiate, when and where did Aristotle say that?
Maybe Aristotle Haitianne said it when he visited Haiti, but not in Greece.

You got as far as the introduction of the novel? Bravo, bravo. Your attempts to display cultural superiority are just a front to hide your inferiority feelings.

gizmo,
indeed ! that's why my first comment were deleted from dominicantoday. I didn't know that whites were so sacred to you. you r dreaming of your past days in slavery. Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the good old times when we were salves, the white masters were goog to us. slapping us a little bit, whipping our butts from time to time, spitting in our food, ah! did they taste goo after. ohhhhhhhhhhhh! white spit!!!!!!!!!!!please come back white masters, be it spain, france or whatever!!!!!!!. Again, this comment won't last long. You bet.

generoso,
At least I did make an effort !. Would you from now
and then do the same. For every book, your horizons will be broadened and your train of toughts will change. Come on! A little effort. Try to get out of Ignorance. Unless you r outright an imbecile>Which is a disease.

Hello where did you get the quote about Aristotle, not from Dessalines as he was illiterate. LOL.
Maybe from professor Monsieur Aristotle Pie from Malpasse, not the Greek one. LOL.

generoso,
bravo! you r not tha bad! at least you know aristotle was greek.
