Jean Laffite
Jean Laffite hid out on Contraband Bayou where he visited Charles Sallier. Treasure was said to have been buried there in 1819. Although concrete streets finally covered the area, it had once been completely dug up by frenzied treasure hunters.
Author Nola Mae Wittler Ross has carefully researched official records, personal diaries, letters and documents from the State Archives to get information about the well known Louisiana Pirate for this revised edition of Jean Laffitte.
Nola Mae Ross is a native of Lake Charles Louisiana and has written a number of books about the history of the great state. She has won several awards for her writing.
