ARTIBONITE

Stand-outs here include Marchand-Dessalines and Petite-Rivière, but there are some surprises here as well.  In this area, I'm also looking for: Fort Lajalouserie (Marmelade); L’ecole des Frères Chrétiennes (St Marc); Grand Fort du Bayonnais (Ennery); Toussaint’s headquarters on the Benoit plantation—anything still there? (Petite Rivière de l’Artibonite); at Baurin, a gunpowder factory (Marchands-Dessalines); Bassin Erzulie, Souvenance, Soukri, Dubedou (Gonaives); Munitions depot (Ravine à Coulevres); Fort Tannerie (near Ennery); Forts Grommier, Guilbert, Le Croix, Ducot (Cahos mountains).
