Surrounded at d’Anglemont and attacked by two columns, Delgresse resolved to die with the liberty of his race.

Haitian

Delgresse, encamped at d’Anglemont, was resolved to sell his life dearly. Surrounded and attacked on 8 prairial (28 May) by two columns, seeing no possibility of cutting a way through an enemy superior in strength, perhaps also discouraged by the treason of Pélage, Delgresse resolved not to survive the liberty of his race.
