• Documents

  "The Burning of the Gipsy," Times Picayune, 8 Dec. 1854 This describes the loss of the steamer along with "Dr. Hacker, of Plaquemines, with his nephew, a lad of some thirteen years of age, and his daughter." The nephew, not named in any articles about the incident, was very likely Octave Florian Pitard, who would have been 13 at the time.
