One of my favorite subjects to explore creatively is tose colorful rogues, Pirates. My many years in New Orleans and many visits to Galveston Texas have led me to muse on the most famous pirate of both cities. Research has helped me produce this one vision of the ellusive person. His story is most likely flavored with a good seasoning of myth, but what pirate isn't. Perhaps I'll see you in Lafitte's blacksmith bar one day.... yes it's still there.
