Summary "Nos Hommes et Notre Histoire" by Rodolphe Lucien Desdunes is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work pays tribute to the contributions and hardships faced by the Creole population, particularly men of color, in Louisiana. It combines biographical sketches with personal reflections and aims to honor the legacy of notable figures within this community. The opening of the book sets a reflective tone as the author expresses admiration for the Creole community, emphasizing a deep connection despite historical injustices. Desdunes discusses the involvement of free men of color in the 1814-1815 campaign alongside other soldiers, highlighting their bravery and contributions. He introduces the character Hippolyte Castra, a featured figure within the narrative, who poetically laments the ingratitude faced by soldiers of color post-victory. The beginning establishes a poignant backdrop of personal and collective struggles while asserting the importance of remembering and celebrating the unsung heroes of history.
