How the story begins
The French envoy's complaint listed his stables, his horses' corn, his bedroom, his linen and his papers. The accused were pigs. In 1841 Alphonse Dubois de Saligny was France's chargé d'affaires to the Republic of Texas. The pigs belonged to Richard Bullock, an Austin hotelkeeper, and they wandered onto the envoy's property. Bullock said Saligny's servant had killed several of them on the envoy's orders.
The rest is in the app. Peplos plays the full story when you reach the place. You can also listen ahead of time.
