vendee

But, on the third day of our journey, we were stopped by a division of the Republican forces on their march to the Vendée.

In all La Vendée there was not a village that had not lost a child.

Throughout La Vendée and all the country of Retz had run a terrible rumour.

La Vendée burns; Santerre can do nothing there; he may return home and brew beer.

Charette, the future hero of Vendée, was among them, unconscious yet of his extraordinary gifts for war.
