Product Description
Jean Laffite Revealed: Unraveling One of America’s Longest-Running Mysteries takes a fresh look at the various myths and legends surrounding one of the last great pirates. Beginning in 1805, the book traces Laffite through his rise to power as a privateer and smuggler in the Gulf, his involvement in the Battle of New Orleans, his flight to Texas, and his eventual disappearance in the waters of the Caribbean. With stunning revelations, this book picks up the trail from there—a trail that no one knew existed until now. This carefully researched work is a bona fide wild ride that will silence long-held speculation about Laffite's ultimate fate.
Customer Reviews
Very good read! Well researched and written! I was spending time on the Gulf Coast reading a bookabout Jimmy Buffett and learned Jean Laffite was an inspiration for him in his early life. I knew very little about Laffite's life and picked this book up on Amazon. It was a 'home run'. A very difficult book to put down! The author's have put together in-depth and hard won research on this man's 'shadowy' life. It reads very much like a favorite mystery novel, but pieces together obscure genealogical and circumstantial evidence to paint a clear picture of Laffite's life. It ends with very convincing evidence that his life extended will beyond what was originally believed. Fascinating and thank you for the fun read!
