Transcriber's Notes:
*Cape Francois is spelled with c cedille. Under colonial rule the town was named Cap Francais
or Cap Francois; under Henry Christophe it was called Cap Henry and today, in French it is
named Cap Haitien. In English it is often referred to as Cap Haitian, Le Cap and
occasionally as Cape City. The current name in Haitian Creole is Okap. It is the second
largest city in Haiti, after the capital Port-au-Prince.
