"Jean Laffite (sometimes spelled Lafitte) was a pirate and the subject of many stories of romance and adventure across the Gulf of Mexico during the early 19th century. During 1817-1820, he started a colony in Galveston and transformed the island into a hotbed of smuggling and privateering. The following resources about this iconic figure are available: manuscript collections, books, photographic collections, and newspapers articles."

Several of the oil paintings are on display inside the Texas History Center inside the Rosenberg Library. I'm including just a photo of one in the gallery.
