Camp near York (Yorktown)
With the war practically over and his
service no longer needed. F1eury went to
South America to make some explora-
tons. In Venezuela he was joined by
Berthier and other Frenchmen. They
went far into the interior and were en-
gagged nearly year in their work When
they returned to France Fleury was made
colonel OF the regiment of Pondichery.
and a few years later was promoted to
be marechal de camp.
~.
Dark days were dawnng now In
France-days SO dark that even the
blithe spirit of Francois Fleury must have
been affected. The land he loved was
entering upon that terrible period OF
blood and terror that makes up one OF
the most awful chapters Of the worlds
history. As soldier Fleury's duty was
to the government. AS a nobleman his
sympathies probably would have been
with the old regime had it not been for
his republican training in America
In the days when France. after guillo-
timing the king, was assailed by nearly
all the powers of Europe FIeury fought
in the army of the north. He was the
same good soldier of the Republic OF
France as Of the Republic of the United
States. But he was noble, and as such,
in the reign of terror, was under sus-
ruled, and he was athirst for blood.
France was a slaughter house, and men
and women were turned savage The
9th of June. 1874, Francois Fleury, as
in all that once smiling land. assembled
the scaffold. In the tumbril just behind
him was the Prince de Broglie, another
nobleman who sought fame on Amer
ica's battlefelds. What terrors had death
for a man who had faced 1t on the cliffs
of Stony Point? The AK fell, some Mime.
Defarge, perhaps. knitted another red
thread, and the spirit of Fleury had gone
to it's Maker.
There is a story that when he went to
the guillotine he wore on his breast the
medal of Stony Point with the ribbon
made out of a bit of the British flag
that he tore down. Maybe the story is
true. If it is. the medal had some strange
wanderings from that June day in 1894.
In garden in Princeton, n. j.. toward
the close of April, 1850, boy digging
in the soil turned up piece of metal.
1t was the medal of Francois Fleury.
How it got there will remain a mystery
forever. perhaps. 1t now is in the Waite
mare collection of the BibliotheQue Ma
tionale of Paris.
