Hinche, Haiti in 1935

A photograph from 1935 of Hinche's public square. One can see the Haitian-styled architecture of Hinche. Hinche was one of the centers of Toussaint's volte-face after entering the service of Spain with other early leaders of the slave unrest in the north of Saint Domingue. Ada Ferrer's new book on Haiti and Cuba actually delves deeper into the presence of Cuban soldiers in Saint Domingue during the Haitian Revolution, and the complete dependence of Spain on these black 'auxiliaries,' which made it quite easy for Toussaint Louverture's forces to recapture Saint Dominguan towns occupied by Spain, as well as seize new cities along the border of the Spanish colony (Hincha became Hinche).
