Also known as: M. Gros, Gros's Historick Recital, Historick Recital, An Historick Recital
Last updated: April 16, 2026
A captivity memoir written by M. Gros, a local magistrate of Vallière, after his imprisonment among insurgent forces in late 1791. Published in Saint-Domingue in 1792 and quickly reprinted in France and Baltimore — with an English translation placed first in the Baltimore edition to address anglophone readers — it shaped how the revolution was explained and blamed across the Atlantic in real time, combining rare observation from inside insurgent-controlled space with the conventions of white victim testimony and explicit political accusation aimed at other whites and colonial authorities.
