CHATOYER
Chatoyer is the National Hero
of Saint Vincent and the
Grenadines. He was warchief
of the Caribs and Black Caribs
and a General in the Army
of France during the
"Second Carib War" fought
in St. Vincent from
1795-7. He was killed and,
as a result the
Caribs/Black Caribs were
exiled to Honduras
where they still exist
under the name
of Garifuna.This painting by Brunias
may be from life.

Busy, busy
Sorry I haven't been entering fascinating little tidbits lately, but I've been working on the infrastructure of the St. Vincent book. There are lots of pictures that have to be coordinated with the text pages and there were enough of them that I had to use three interlocked web sites to hold them all. I've got enough structure on the web at http://svg2.karleklund.net that I just have to do editing of what I had on there. Then I can start adding things I've picked up in the last year or so. Adding bits is something you can do in fits and starts--creating structure is something that takes concentrated attention.
