The Sans-Souci Palace was the royal residence of King Henri I (better known as Henri Christophe) of Haiti, Queen Marie-Louise and their two daughters. It was the most important of nine palaces built by the king, as well as fifteen châteaux, numerous forts, and sprawling summer homes on his twenty plantations.[1] Construction of the palace started in 1810 and was completed in 1813. It is located in the town of Milot, Nord Department. Its name translated from French means "carefree."
This blog is for the sole purpose of listing the books, journals and archive in Dr. Thomas G. Mathews' (my late father's) vast library for specialists on Caribbean and Latin American History. FACT EX-ANTE: No book will be taken from its location. Those desiring of consultation will email me to make the appropriate arrangements.
