In 1814, the citizens of New Orleans often saw a printed notice brazenly displayed in public places. It read "Sale of rare and notable goods, this day at the temple". It was signed, John Lafitte. The scene of this thieves bazaar was a clearing in the Cyprus Swamps. There, beneath tendrils of dripping moss, John Lafitte and his pirate crew insolently hawked their wares.
