 imes but the only place left was Verti&egrave;res. During the night of 17&n
 dash;18 November 1803, the Haitians positioned their few guns to blast Fort
  Br&eacute;da, located on the habitation where Toussaint Louverture had wor
 ked as a coachman under Fran&ccedil;ois Capois. As the French trumpets soun
 ded the alarm, Clervaux, a Haitian rebel, fired the first shot. Capoix, mou
 nted on a great horse, led his demibrigade forward despite storms of bullet
 s from the forts on his left. The approach to Charrier ran up a long ravine
  under the guns of Verti&egrave;res. French fire killed a number of soldier

 u was watching from the rampart of Verti&egrave;res. As Capoix charged fort

 still. A French staff officer mounted his horse and rode toward the intrepi
 d Capoix-la-Mort (<i>Capoix-the Death</i>). With a great voice he shouted: 
 "General Rochambeau sends compliments to the general who has just covered h
 imself with such glory!" Then he saluted the Haitian warriors, returned to 
 his position, and the fight resumed. General Dessalines sent his reserves u
