Abstract:
This website hosts the English translation of Les Massacres de Septembre. Written by journalist G. Lenôtre (Louis Léon Théodore Gosselin) and first published in 1907, the book tells of the summary executions of as many as 1,300 prisoners in Paris in September 1792 following the French Revolution. The English translation, by Thomas Carr, was commissioned by inventor Michael La Vean, whose collection of historical French documents is housed at George Mason University.
