The Treasure of Jean Lafitte

 

From the Kinja archive. Jean Lafitte's treasure may still be buried somewhere along the Louisiana/Texas Gulf Coast. Unfortunately it might also be underwater by now due to erosion, subsidence, and rising sea levels.

The Sketch of Lafitte taken from the Review of 1851, is the most complete ever written of a man who combined in his person the accomplishments of a gentleman with the daring and barbaric instincts of the corsair. Patriot, pirate, smuggler and warrior, there is no character to compare with him except that of Robin Hood, whom he surpassed in audacity and success. The fabulous treasures accumulated by him were squandered or were bountifully distributed, or were hidden away deep in the earth or in the sea marshes. At the junction of the Rigolets and Bayou Sauvage Lafitte built a platform or wharf on which to unload his merchandise and booty.
