The Revolutionary Drummer Boy Turned Haitian King

There was a similar story in the French Revolution, I'd sent it in before, I'll try to find it again, it was, I recall, about the father or grandfather of the French author Alexander Dumas, who'd written the Count of Monte Cristi and The Three Musketeers. Not the author, the father or grandfather, as I'd said, I'd seen material in te historical basis for the Count of Monte Cristi, which was actually derived from a couple of sources, evidently, and happened in the fact that the author, Dumas, had, I believe , a father, who was similarly African, the illegitimate son if a a French nobleman, I think the father, as I think further, who'd been a very serious hero under Napoleon I, from what I'd read, and, I think, also was involved in the French Revolution, though I might have tat aspect wrong, him being under Napoleon I, that I'm sure of, I do recall that, I can't quite recall the rest at the moment,nhowever, as I'd said, the stories are, as I think about them, quite similar, however, the inenyou have here I hadn't heard, in fact, till now, good catch, obviously.,..
