If the remains are identified as General Gudin’s, hopefully, they will be returned to France.

How do they really know this corpse was the General? I don’t think they’ve got a leg to stand on.

That’s where the term “busier than a one- legged tap dancer” originated. Leave it to the Russians

I enjoyed jumping on there from time-to-time.
And then she disappeared.

She asked if anyone wanted to take it over.
It is a lot of work. I subbed in a couple times when she was on vacations.

You do know that slavery was still legal in France of 1812?
Did his family own any slaves?

Here's more fuel for the fire:
"After his death at age 44 on Aug. 22, 1812, Gudin got star treatment. His name was inscribed on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, his bust was placed at the Palace of Versailles, a Paris street was named after him and, as a sentimental gesture, his heart was removed from his body and placed in a chapel at the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. "
