Charles Leclerc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leclerc politics were loaded with a bunch of Machiavellian maneuvers which treated many unfairly but were certainly another carat in the diamond of the image of the Bonapartes until that is, Leclerc and many of his men caught yellow fever and were soon no longer in the land of the living which must have been quite a bummer to Napoleon's younger daughter Pauline. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauline_Bonaparte. She did have a grove on Haiti where she could enjoy local flora and fauna including sampling some of the sex lives of her husband's soldiers.

It probably was not long after she returned a widow-- recovered from the yellow fever which took her husband and many of his men-- and had begun to laugh while probably giving a jingle to precious stones on the anklet she had on while looking for another husband. She probably hoped that it was not some yahoo would were make her again unseen in Parisian society but someone who would shoot her like an arrow or a pulsar back into the highest levels of French society.

Daisy.
Choke.
Sleepy.
Father.

Since events in the Caribbean choked off any change of a Napoleonic Empire in the New World, Bonaparte focused on using the money from the Louisiana Purchase to father his ambitions in Spain and Portugal while also fostering his ideas-- like the Napoleonic Code-- in sleepy swampy areas he had just sold to the still fledging Republic, the United States of America. You can still see Napoleon's impact today in Louisiana and elsewhere such as with Daisy Dukes Restaurant in Metairie, LA. Metairie | Daisy Dukes Restaurant which is on Napoleon Avenue.

8 Things You May Not Know About the Louisiana Purchase

When Meriwether Lewis and William Clark departed from St. Louis in May 1804 to explore the northern portion of Louisiana, the exact boundaries of the newly acquired territory had yet to be hashed out. Based on an analysis of old French maps, the United States claimed West Florida, an area along the Gulf Coast in present-day Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Spain disputed this until 1819, when the Adams-Onís Treaty gave the United States all of Florida in exchange for surrendering its claim to Texas. In the north, Great Britain and the United States agreed in 1818 to establish the 49th parallel as the border between them from the Lake of the Woods to the Rocky Mountains.

This was probably a great day at the office or bureau when the US got Florida for giving up its claims on Texas (unless your are a Texan, of course). Florida certainly has more attractive flora if not fauna. They still had to contend with the swamps and their soupy mix of dangers from alligators to panthers to disease carrying mosquitoes. Maybe, they should have asked for a discount?

Napoleon's hair found in Sydney Town Hall | News.com.au

This must have been quite an eureka event in Australia, pieces of Napoleon Bonaparte's hair discover after two centuries or so. I wonder if they impaled it on some kind of bracket to put it on display? His hair seems to have travelled quite a bit more than he ever did. http://www.smh.com.au/executive-styl...0630-zjrk.html. Something to say when you think that he probably had a profound influence on at least one tenth of the countries of the world in 1800 through 1815.

The Louisiana Purchase gave Napoleon the funds to build up his army and the many victories they had in the area of the Danube not soon after this supplied his armory with even more weapons taken from defeated soldiers. That is if they fit in with the ethic and style of Napoleon's troops. They might even have stolen some of the falcons from the aviary of some conquered castle. http://www.napoleon-empire.com/castles.php

Movies Coming Soon, Upcoming Movies - FilmJabber

If you are looking for movies about Napoleon there are a lot of places to look from those lowly in recognition by the average Web user like filmjabber.com to the much more showy Rotten Tomatoes and the Internet Movie Database. Some of these sites really unload on their subjects with quite a lot of vitriol. Napoleon Bonaparte (Character)

Dennis Hopper as Napoleon Bonaparte in 1957's The Story of Mankind? The Story of Mankind (1957) - IMDb Got to see that one. And, Harpo Marx as Sir Isaac Newton! And, this is a movie about whether man is good or evil.

Jumble - Houston Chronicle

A very bossy librarian could never pull up all the books on Napoleon as there are just too many-- almost an infinite number of tomes on Bonaparte and his world. One of the best IMHO in the fiction area is the series on Sharpe by Bernard Cornwell. This is about Richard Sharpe and his fellow Englishmen who battle Napoleon's forces for about a decade or more. He is something of a knight without the shining armor and one who is as often unclothing women as fighting Bonaparte's minions. http://www.bernardcornwell.net/series/the-sharpe-books/

There is a cat breed named The Napoleon. http://www.thenapoleoncat.com/ It does look to have silky, isn't too heavy, and is a pet breed with which a Villager could encounter and then say that she has fallen head-over-heels in love. And with a cat, you do not have to worry about sliding doors to let you out as there is always the litter box. Unfortunately, though there is also the twice daily routine of cleaning it out.
