Longwood Villa Hellish Conditions Endure Napoleon
An eyewitness account from Napoleon Bonaparte’s circle at Longwood details dire living conditions. The narrative cites squalid housing, ropey food, rampant vermin, water shortages, and drastic economies under Governor Lowe. It condemns restrictions on letters and books, and laments isolation on St Helena as harming the Emperor’s health and dignity.
