Madame Roland: A Biographical Study
Tarbell, Ida M. (Ida Minerva)
France -- History -- Revolution, 1789-1799; Roland, Madame, 1754-1793
At the beginning of 1794 the refugees were obliged to change asylums,
and went to the house of a hair-dresser in Saint Émilion, where they
stayed until June of that year. At that time, however, the Revolutionary
authorities of Bordeaux decided that they were not doing their whole
duty in saving the country, and began a house-to-house search throughout
the department. Buzot, with his friends, Pétion and Barbaroux, were
forced to fly. After days of fatigue and fear and hunger, the end came.
Barbaroux, thinking he was discovered, attempted to shoot himself, but
succeeded only in wounding himself, and was captured.
Just how death came to Buzot no one knows; for when his body was found
it lay beside that of Pétion in a wheat-field, half-eaten by wolves.
In unconscious irony the peasants have since called the field the _champ
des émigrés_.
