If he was on a raft for a month that would have been a news worthy item. This would have been in the local paper. The bad thing is most papers are out of business, but you might find out info at the library. Do you know when he was shot down or when he was found??The problem is that most of the service records were burnt in a fire in St Louis in the 70s. You can try to get his records if you are a close relative.

Oh absolutely!  Look at all the prolific pirates in society: Cap'n Crunch, Captain Morgan, the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team, Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and Geoffrey Rush!  They're pirates, and they're doing really well!  =D\n\nYou could also be Dracula, because I think Count Chocula isn't hurting for money.  \n\nGood luck, it sounds like you're on the way to a really interesting career of adventure on the high seas, matey!  Arrrggghhh...

An irresistable pirate, who unfortunately was also illiterate, entered the enemy's waters.  His illegal move landed him in jail.  At trial, the judge asked him to sign the court order, but his handwriting was too illegible.\n\nHe spent the rest of his life in jail.\n\nThe end\n\nCopyright, Sunflower, 2006.  :)

On the bottom of the Atlantic ocean, 1700 feet under the surface, archaeologists found the wreck of the old side-wheel steamship, "Republic."  She sank in a great hurricane in October, 1865, off the coast of Georgia (US - the country of Georgia is landlocked).\n\nNewspaper reports after the ship's loss said that she went down with $400,000 of gold coin, destined for New Orleans.  And one newspaper story suggesed she also carried a separate cargo of $70,000 in coin for someone else in New Orleans.\n\nUsing robotic equipment, the archaeologists excavated the SS Republic.  They found the remnants of two wooden barrels holding gold and silver coins, 59,000 in all.  So far, they have not found the rest of the money said to have been aboard th ship.\n\nThe wreck of the SS Republic presents MANY historical mysteries.  One of the myseries is, who were the people who escaped from her that stormy day?  Some are known and their stories have been found, but most remain just names in newspaper lists of shipwreck survivors.  Another is who were the people who died after the ship sank?  Newspaper accounts suggest one or two people drowned while swimming away from the sinking ship to lifeboats, and either 14 or 16 people died while castaways on a raft that was not found until a week after the sinking.  All of these people today are forgotten, nameless victims; who were they?\n\nOf course, the archaeologists would VERY much like to know where the rest of the money can be found on the wreck.\n\nAnd finally there is THIS mystery:\n\nAt least one and maybe more of the canvas bags of coins in the barrels came from the Bank of New York.  The archaeologists found the lead seals used by the bank to close the bags.  Those bags of coins were silver half-dollars, ALL made in the New Orleans mint in 1861 - some before Louisiana seceded from the Union, some made while Louisiana was an independent state, and others made when the Confederacy ruled.  So the coins in these bags were under Confederate control after they were minted.  Most of the money in New Orleans was dispersed into the Deep South when the Union assaulted, and captured, the city in April of 1862. \n\nHOW DID THEY GET TO NEW YORK DURING THE CIVIL WAR?\n\nHow did these bags of 1861 "O" silver half-dollars end up in a New York bank vault, and then come to be put on the doomed vessel to be shipped back to New Orleans only months after the war had ended?

you are right. and i see another piece of misinformation cropping up as well.  our founding fathers were not christian.  one was an atheist and the others were all Diest (belief in the clockwork structure of the universe.  God made it all, wound it up, and lets it go.  God does not take a personal or vested interest in any part of his creation.).  So no knowledge of the Treaty of Tripoli or that there were NO Christian Founding Fathers of America.

Although he didn't live long enough to really enjoy it - the first man to make a fortune was John Rolfe who invented through cross-pollenation a newer sweeter-weed of tobacco that became hugely popular and made the Virginia colony financially viable.\n\nGood Luck :-)!!!

I haven't done a paper about him but I have edited a children's nonfiction book about him. What kind of information do you need? There's lots of good, interesting information out there about him. Check out the websites below and then go to your library!
