Shannon guest blogs about Napoleon’s followers in America

It’s a pleasure to be featured as a “Relevant History” guest blogger on author Suzanne Adair’s website, talking about Napoleon’s followers in America.

In writ­ing Napoleon in Amer­ica, I had to fig­ure out what Napoleon Bona­parte might have done if he had escaped to the United States in 1821. My first task was to find out who was around at the time who might have been able to help him. To my sur­prise, I dis­cov­ered there were many Bona­partists in America, including Napoleon’s brother Joseph, some officers who tried to invade Texas, and a French general who joined the US Army and designed the largest stone fort in America.
