General Fressinet takes the Frère and Coupe camps

Haitian

At the end of 1802, Germain Frère and Caradeux, Blacks in insurrection against the French, had established a camp on the habitation Frère. They stood there at the head of the remnants of the 11th colonial half-brigade. This camp served as an asylum for all the cultivators of the Plain of the Cul-de-Sac who were fleeing the rigors of the administration of Rochambeau; it depended on Lamour Dérance. This famous chief of the indigenous rebels of the West left the mountains of the Selle, where he had his retreat, and pushed his incursions as far as the camp Frère, where he set up a post. On 16 December, 1,500 infantrymen, commanded by General Fressinet, took this camp, at the same time as that of la Coupe.

Rouzier tells this under the entry Frère.
