History at home 15. Things my dad said that I Forgot

In, which holds with black music Friday during the 32 days of black history Blogathon thought I that I would spend straight some more moments on Joseph de Bologne, Le Chevalier de holy Georges.

On the next day, the meeting approved a corps, which mainly from the men of the color, with 800,200 the Kavallerie personnel of the infantry became to contain and. Holy Georges was appointed, in order to be its Colonel. Its official name was L�gion Franche de Cavalerie of the Am�ricains, but it became soon all as l�gion the holy George admits [ holy George Legion ]. The Colonel selected its friend and favorite Alexandre Dumas as a second lieutenant Colonel. Like its Colonel he was the son of a French Aristokraten and African slaves.

Although Dumas and holy Georges fell out finally with each other. But, the kind of comraderie, which they divided, is the material, which keeps an oldest of life.What warmly in the newer years, I interesting is in the school finds, it us two things never taught - Dumas was black and something from its less well-known work employed expressly these topics. At home remind me I vaguely on mean dad to say to something something with exceeding over Dumas, which is black. Like many young people without view proof, I dismissed him. And there the three Musketiere "something were not, over which I was, gave I her never, some second thought.You more from the article below Dumas and its life approximately to read can here: Alexandre Dumas was carried in Villes Cotter�ts.

Father Dumas was a general in the army Napoleon, who was fallen from preference. After its death in 1806 the family in the poverty lived. Dumas worked as a secretary of a notary and went 1823 to Paris finding work. Because of its elegant handwriting it secured a position with the Duc d'Orl�ans -- for newer king Louis Philippe. He found also his place in the theatre and as publishers of some incomprehensible magazines. An illegal son called Alexandre Dumas, which was on fils, its nut/mother, Marie Catherine Labay, a Damenschneiderin, in 1824.Called as "the king of Paris" carried, Dumas acquired fortunes and was immediately spent them on friends, art and loving. Dumas died at a notice on Decembers 5, 1870, with Puys, close Dieppe. Its son Alexandre Dumas fils, for an author, Dramatisten stood, and moralist, which never assumed lifestyle.Dumas its father, did not define itself generally as a black man and is not much proof there that he found obvious racingism during his life.
