Some said that the men of the swamps were pirates and smugglers. Others argued that it could not be true because their leader was none other than the ever-reputable, true gentleman Jean Lafitte. He lived a secret life behind the facade of his blacksmith's shop in the Vieux Carre, and he remained the bitter enemy of Governor Claiborne until the famous Battle of New Orleans, in which the pirate-turned-hero joined Gen. Andrew Jackson to protect the city from the invading British. Combining tales of pirates, mystery, battle, true events, and real people, this story is a thrilling chapter from American history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 8.26 x 5.53 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 31, 1994\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pirate Lafitte and the Battle of New Orleans\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Middle Grades, 4-8\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.4\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765391622432,"sku":"9780882899312","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/15b6ea0af2f4cacd61c46200ba527626.webp?v=1780268211","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-pirate-lafitte-and-the-battle-of-new-orleans-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
