| Capt. Alfred Dreyfus |
One hundred-twenty-one years ago today, Captain
Alfred Dreyfus of the French Army was
convicted of treason by a court-martial. The case proved deeply divisive across French society. In due course he was exonerated, but not before he was forced to serve time at France's notorious Devil's Island prison. He died in 1935.
