intended coming to the United States and
would have done so If arrangements could
have been made. The work referred to Is
Talks of Napoleon at St. Helena" by Gen
eral Baron Gourgaud. 1t was published In
France about four years ago and has re-
Gently been translated into English. Gour-
gaud was an officer in the French army
during all of Napoleon's campaigns and was
on confidential terms with him. After the
battle of Waterloo he accompanied Napo-
leon in his fight to Paris and was sent by
him to Rochefort to see what prospects OF
escape to the United States might be found
there. Later Gourgaud accompanied Napo-
leon to st. Helena and remained with him
some. time. keeping a journal of his CONVEX
sations with the deposed Emperor. No such
picture OF Napoleons personal characters
tics and views has been presented as this
volume gives, but at present we have to do
only with his idea of coming to this coun-
try. Under date of June %. 1915, four days
after Waterloo, Gourgaud writes:
The Emperor, worried by all the men
around him who were afraid and who per-
sisted in believing that without Napoleon
they themselves might make peace; beset
/ say by these people and utterly cast down
by his great misfortune. he decided to abdi-
cate and go to the United States OF Amer
lea. His Majesty proposed TO me TO go with
him, an offer L accepted Immediately.
June "a the author records that Napoleon
had resolved to leave Paris the next day for
Malmaison, 'in order to wait there for pass
ports which had been drawn up authorizing
him to go to the United States" Gourgaud
babe goodbye to his late comrades in
arms and went to say goodbye to his
mother. They went to Malmaison on the
18th but found everything in confusion. On
the 18th, Gourgaud writes, "Our passports
for the United States have not come"
Trouble was breaking out in Paris, and
''The Emperor offers to give his word OF
honor that as soon as this is over he will
leave France and carry out his first design
of going to America" AS things were get
ting too hot for them, Napoleon left NAL
maison 'in a common yellow caleche," I'M
der the name of General Becker, and start
ed for Rochefort. "At in the evening his
Majesty dictates instructions to me and
sends me to Rochefort that we may see
what chances there are that we may be
able to get away" Under date Of July 10:
THE Emperor resumed our conversation
and assured me that when he grew bored in
the United States he would take to his car
riage and travel over a thousand leagues,
and that he did not think any one would
suspect that he intended to return to Eu-
rope
They did not get away, and this period of
suspense and indecision was ended by their
being taken aboard a British man-of-war
and sent as prisoners to st. Helena. If
Napoleon had come to the United States. as
it is evident he fully intended and expected
to, one is left to conjecture what sort of life
he would have led. In one of his converse
tons he said he should live here pri-
vate gentleman. He would soon have tired
of that. and would have made trouble for
somebody.
