A plan to bring Napoleon to Louisiana was halted by news of his death in 1821.〔Napoleon House: History ()〕 A highly regarded alternative history novel entitled ''Napoleon in America'' (was conceived at Napoleon House ) and explores the aforementioned premise of it being Napoleon's first stop on his escape from St. Helena.
