 ===Jeannot Bullet's Execution===

There is a graphic depiction of this episode in the contemporary American author Madison Smartt Bell's novel, ''All Souls' Rising'' (1995).

 "Small, thin man with a forbidding manner and a veiled crafty face.  He was utterly remorseless... even towards his own kind.  ... He would stop at nothing to gain his own ends, he was daring, seizing quickly on chances, quick-witted and capable of total hypocrisy.  He feared no one and nothing; unfortunately he found inspiration in cruelty, a sadist without the refinements that so-called civilization brings."  ([[This Gilded African|Parkinson]], p. 40)  "He hanged those he had captured by hooks stuck under their chins.  He himself put out their eyes with red-hot pincers.  He cut the throat of a prisoner and lapped at the blood as it flowed, encouraging those around him to join him:  "Ah, my friends, how good, how sweet is the blood of the whites.  Drink it deep and swear revenge against our oppressors, never peace, never surrender, I swear by God."
