For a number of years, he was loaned to the Haitian Government and served as a white officer of the black troops of that republic. His first duty was in a wild and mountainous interior district nearly half as large as the state of New Jersey. Here the inhabitants shuffled on the sides of their feet. Some of them had peanut-heads and could not straighten their knee-joints. Captain Craige, learned their language on which he is an authority. He went to their dances, attended their funerals, studied their weird, primitive, religion, the voodoo. The natives called him Papa Blanc, White Father. Voodoo rites, cannibalism, black magic, wangas were all part of his daily routine.".
