The rich detail presented in this story adds a great deal to what we know of ante-bellum Alabama and the international intrigues of the decades after Napoleon's final defeat, and sheds light as well on the other less glamorous refugees, planters fleeing from the revolution in Haiti, whose interest was much more purely agricultural, and whose lasting influence on the region was far more durable.
