Pétion entered Petit-Goâve, where Desruisseaux died, and had him buried on the place d’Armes.

Haitian

Pétion entered Petit-Goâve on 12 floréal (2 May), where Desruisseaux died, offering his prayers for the triumph of the arms of the South and the happiness of his race. Pétion had him buried on the place d’Armes, at the foot of the tree of liberty of which he had been one of the finest soldiers (1).
