In November I took a fantastic trip to New Iberia Louisiana. It was a beautiful day to begin a quest to discover Félicité.The historical marker is located in front of the library. I decided to step into the library to chat with a local person about her. No one knew of her, so I shared what I knew. I'll make sure to donate a copy of the book to the library.
From the historical marker I found, she was a Haitian woman that nursed the sick during the yellow fever epidemic. She was "loved and honored" by the folks in New Iberia until she died in January of 1852. What an amazing lady!
