Camp Ivonet. Taken by the Indigenous from European troops, retaken by Berger with great carnage.

The Indigenous of the mornes of Jérémie fought the French with the utmost fury. They attacked Camp Ivonet, which European troops occupied, with impetuosity, and made themselves masters of it. Colonel Berger, who commanded the town of Jérémie, marched out against them on 23 June at the head of 600 men. He fell upon the enemy unawares and broke into the entrenched camp. There was great carnage. Berger was struck down by a saber cut to the head. The Indigenous nevertheless gave way, and were put to the sword in great numbers. This success profited the French only in that it delayed the fall of Jérémie. It did not shake the power of the insurgents of the Grand’Anse.
