Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lafitte, Vol. 1 of 2: The Pirate of the Gulf
Nor with the faithfulness of a biographer, have we portrayed the life of the personage whom we have taken for our hero. We have woven for our purpose a web of fact and fiction, unsolicitous to dye each thread with its own peculiar hue, to enable the curious reader thereby, the more readily to say which IS which. But if he chooses to draw out either thread, to inspect it by itself, thinking thereby to judge better of the text ture of the whole, we have only to say - the web is his own; and, that if his humour prompt him to break up the watch, the pieces may perhaps reward his curiosity.
