department Of France. Is visited by
but few from the outside world. and
this tiny community Of
men and women Of color is but little
known. II is not a large village. for
its inhabitants number only about a
hundred, but every one is either black
or copper colored Il owes its origin
to the fact that about a century ago
the famous negro chief. Toussaint
L'Ouverture. was brought from Haiti
and imprisoned In Fort de JOux.
Many of his friends. all negroes, fol
lowed him and encamped near his
prison on the bank Of the little river
Loue. From that encampment grew
the village of Port Lesne. and when
Toussaint LOuverture died more than
100 years ago his friends decided to
remain in France. The passing OF
years and intermarriages have trans
formed the settlement into a French
village Of colored folk. all Of whom

sibly helped the heart. but certainly
did not better the brain.
