Fun indeed, but fruitless, Jean Lafitte was based out of the New Orleans area, did a lot of runs around Cuba and other islands of that region, I have not heard of any pirating activities on his part in any part of the Eastern Seaboard. Try Blackbeard or any others that had actual hideouts/homes/taverns along the east coast.

Yeah, and The Pirate Lafitte, by Robert Tallant.
It's kind of dry, but well researched.

My father was a voyageur; he died while on a voyage. I will also die while en route, and another Chicot will take my place. Such is our course of life."

58 degrees, later today! In THE BEALE TREASURE: New History of a Mystery by Peter Viemeister, Chapt. 12, Lafitte & Jackson; pg. 107-111, indicate that it was POSSIBLE that after the War of 1812, the Lafitte Bros. "disappeared" up the "Old Muddy", came "in-land' via the James River & buried SOME of their "pirate loot" from SPANISH "plunder". Gen. Andy Jackson DID come to Lynchburg, Va. (on his way to DC), and Thomas. J. Beale was described as being a dark, swarthy , handsome man in the BEALE PAPERS; And!
ALL the ladies loved him. HA! ANYWAY... there are FRENCH phases in the letters to Robert MORRISS by Thom. J. Beale, that caused "interest" from "investigators", and "locals" of Bedford County, Va. Was just wondering if OTHERS knew of anything.

Aahoy Maties, I feel that Lafitte had too much salt air up his nostrels to be that far inland at St Lou. Where you gonna find any good ditch bugs up there. Lafitte had high water marks on his legs and knew how to put it in reverse just like the crawfish.

HOT CIDER, WASSAIL! R & I; THE BEALE TREASURE: New History of a Mystery
by Peter Viemeister, pg 108-110... "....on February 6th, 1815, President James Madison issued a public proclamation
of pardon for ALL the Baratarians, including the Laffittes." LATER... "But, Jean Lafitte was wily and resilient.... There were rumors that he had relocated on the MAINLAND..." (p. 110). Capt. Thomas Beale (Sr) was in charge of Beale's
Rifles, that Gen. Andy (Jackson) depended on to defend New Orleans; and Capt. Beale was from VIRGINIA. It is speculated that his son... also named Thomas Beale, was in charge of helping the Lafittes bury "loot" in diverse places, Kentucky & Virginia. DANG! THIS stuff is GOOD! ARF!
