abstract
{"value"=>"The Luxembourg and Victor Cauvin (Haiti) collection pertains mostly to François Luxembourg Cauvin's career as an influential lawyer and Haitian statesman, and to Haitian politics in general in the ten-year period preceding the 1915 United States occupation of Haiti. Included are: Cauvin's Consolidation file; a May-September 1912 file of incoming letters to General Annulysse André, dealing for the most part with an armed upheaval in the town of Côte-de-Fer, near Jacmel, and the military campaign against it, in the early days of General Cincinnatus Leconte's presidency; and a small group of letters from the 1911-1915 period of coups and counter-coups, including two autographed letters from Presidents Leconte and Davilmar Théodore."}
