Jim Bowie is a major character in THE RIVAL where Alice and Victor are hurled into 1834 New Orleans -- so is a young Edgar Allan Poe who vies with Victor for Alice's affections!<br /><br />Hibbs is always appreciative of a scratch behind the ears! And a blood courier has scant time to celebrate bringing blood to all those who celebrated unwisely!<br /><br />Donna:<br />Yes, Jean Lafitte ended as all good legends should -- mysteriously. :-)Roland D.

The mayor just had his reality check bounce! :-)<br /><br />Alex:<br />There are hundreds of colorful, haunted legends in this city. And yes, Hibbs is still snickering: I afford him no end of amusement! He's currently courteously cleaning out my last honey jar! He says it's to safeguard my waistline.Roland D.

We visited the Atocha find in Key West and saw 15th century gold.<br /><br />I don't think I've heard of Contraband Days before. Interesting local news.D.G.
