Just started doing some reading on the Jean Laffite, The pirate who operated out of New Orleans in the early 1800s. Can anyone recommend a book/podcast/documentary about him?

Pretty sure he was Jewish.
Or catholic.
Really can’t remember.
Hope this helps.

Has anyone ever found "buried treasure" associated with any of these legends? I know there have been countless history channel/discovery tv specials, but I don't recall hearing anyone has ever found anything.

He was a member of the Order of the Knights Templars and buried the Templars' treasure in St. Tammany Parish.

But keep a firm grip on your skepticism, and choose an outsider’s book next.

The Kilmeade book about the battle of New Orleans has Jackson as the central character, but goes into a lot of detail about Lafitte's critical role in saving this country from the British. It's a quick read and worth the time. If you are interested in Lafitte, this is a cool point of view to see him from.
