History[]
• In 1793, shortly after the attack on Saint-Michel-de-l'Atalaye by General Desfourneaux, White Casenave, a man of color in the service of the King of Spain, came to attack at the Coupe-a-l'Inde, near the Cabres, a detachment of Republicans. He seized the post and slaughtered all the soldiers. Polverel, the civil commissary, ordered Lully, a man of color, to resume the position. Lully left Petite Rivière, and arrived at the Coupe-a-l'Inde, which he found abandoned. His troops were seized with horror at the sight of many dead corpses lying on the ground. The heads had been brought to the Spanish comandants who paid them four gourdes each. Eight days after the arrival of Lully, White Casenave again presented himself at the Coupe-a-l'Inde, but he was repulsed and lost 600 men. White Casenavo was of great cruelty; he was drinking in a human skull.
