Jean Lafitte

(重定向自Jean Laffite)

US Commodore Daniel Patterson commanded an offensive force against Lafitte and his men at Barataria, 1814
A persistent rumor claimed that Lafitte rescued Napoleon (pictured) from exile and both of them ended their days in Louisiana. No evidence supports it.

Jean Lafitte (c.1780 – c.1823) was a French-American pirate and privateer in the Gulf of Mexico in the early 19th century. He and his elder brother, Pierre, spelled their last name Laffite, but English-language documents of the time used "Lafitte". The latter has become the common spelling in the United States, including for places named for him.
