Historical]]>
Although the famous pirate Jose Gasparilla's (1756-1828) exploits were most prominently performed upon Florida's West Coast, it appears he did seek to retire from piracy in St. Augustine. Cabell's novel chronicles his exploits and in the last part is dedicated to the ideation of Gasparilla's retirement in the Ancient City.
