There is info for several editions, and if you enter your zipcode, it will list the libraries near you that have that edition.

quote:
Nobody came to rescue the wounded and retrieve the dead because nobody on the mainland knew what had happened at Isle Dernière. The group was soon found however — not by rescuers but by bands of Spanish, Swiss and Portuguese pirates who happened to come upon the decimated island. The pirates swarmed the island, picking through the carnage and plundering the dead. A letter from Bayou Boeuf printed in the Picayune on Aug. 21, 1856 reads, “They (pirates) were seen to drag the corpses from the water, rob them, tearing studs from the shirt bosoms of men and ripping the earrings from the ears of ladies.”
