General Bonnet enters Mirebalais; Gérin’s march halted at the Artibonite

Haitian

On 10 June 1809, General Bonnet, with Lacroix and Beauregard, entered Mirebalais. Gérin, having under his orders Vérret and Marion, crosses the Fer-à-Cheval to cross the Artibonite at the ford of Lascahobas; the high waters and the fortifications raised on the banks of the river by Pierre Toussaint stop the march of Pétion’s troops. The army then moved to the Crête-Brûlée.

Rouzier tells this under the entry MIREBALAIS (le).
