- Summary
- The collection pertains mostly to François Luxembourg Cauvin's career as an influential lawyer and Haitian statesman, and to Haitian politics in general during the ten-year period preceding the 1915 United States occupation of Haiti. Included are documents related to Cauvin's role in the Haitian debt consolidation scandal of 1903 and his efforts at vindication; a file of incoming letters to General Annulysse André dealing, for the most part, with an armed upheaval in the town of Côte-de-Fer near Jacmel in 1912; and material relating to several damage claims against the Haitian government by both Haitian and foreign nationals. Also included are miscellaneous documents of the Union Patriotique's opposition to the U.S. occupation and of its General Secretary Victor Cauvin.
